BEAUTY, FRAGILITY, POWER

Women with no filter

Women live to the point
of exhaustion.
They absorb all in fullness
and in consciousness of
what is good and bad
Without separation,
protection or filter
Living, inhaling, exhaling,
expelling or rescuing,
the whole package of life.
Without noticing,
distinguishing or choosing.
They receive in full all there is,
The tenderness, the care,
the pain
And the guilt of the
desire they hide…
– Poet: Sat Nam (Truth is my identity)
