Geworfenheit

We can’t trick the truth by hiding from it

we can’t trick reality by denying it

.

we can’t subtract our differences from the social equation

we can’t avoid our conflicts

.

we can’t jettison the sandbags of the flesh

we can’t outmaneuver the flow of life

.

we cannot rationalize our way out of the mess of it

we cannot explain away the dilemma of it

we cannot transcend the problem of life

.

but we can choose…

We can choose to say yes and stay honest

we can choose to pay attention

we can choose to be an honest witness

we can choose to be kind

we can choose to let ourselves make mistakes

and always to take the next step

we can choose to take on whatever gives

.

We can choose the truth as our true north.

I allow what is and I roll with what gives,

not because I want to change the world,

or to change the people of the world, no

I say yes because I’m here and life is yes,

life is yes and so I say yes: simple as that,

I take what life gives and I give what life

takes, yes: I say yes because even if it is

a goddamn mess, in the end, life is a yes
