In Life...

In life we are so consumed by i's, 

and the big i's - the big demons  

become the crosses that we carry. 

We carry these crosses 

whether or not we do it unconsciously 

or willingly.

In life

we are consumed by the burden of our cross. 

We can see especially in others 

since we buffer it,  how in life, 

people are closed down 

and attached to their sufferings;  

it's so easy and natural. 

Yet as students, 

we are asked to hold our crosses,

 to accept it, to see our suffering in a different way.

Like the bird of our souls 

flying over the earth of our lives,  

and in this acceptance, 

our possibilities become open to us.
