Today, I see the look of pain,
clouded the cheerful face of yours.
What happened, dear friend?
You said, you lost the match, and soon I understand,
how your wish, your very aspiration,
was taken away from your grip.
If I could take away that pain from you, I would.
But you know, dear friend, I couldn’t.
Can you see, where the pain grows from?
… it is from your own expectation.
Because expectation cuts you off from reality,
that you can no longer see,
the beauty of every happening.
Expectation gives birth to frustration, when it does not come true in reality.
So why cling to something imaginary,
When, instead, it blinds you from the joy of something real?
So dear friend,
Some people would say, expect the worse.
I would say, do not expect.
Set yourself free, and live the moment fully.
Then you shall understand, that you no longer need to seek;
for your existence itself,
is the ultimate bliss.
