An affair with truth

Truth is a living being

that must be nourished and fed

and loved

then it grows and blossoms

filling the air with pure aroma

making us gasp with delight

Truth is a friend

that asks for loyalty

and acceptance

then it enters our hearts

dissolving the boundaries

freeing us from loneliness

Truth is a demanding lover

that requires constant affection

and endless gifts

then it rewards us

with a glimpse of indescribable beauty

making us faint with satisfaction

Truth is an empty hand

that asks for and requires

nothing

The soul of freedom

What should we do

what is the purpose of life

here is the endless task

to do nothing well

here is your purpose

to be free of any purpose

why do we suffer so

how can we end the pain

here is the source of suffering

in the desire to end suffering

there is no end to pain

nor an end to joy

within the soul of freedom
