Allow your verdicts their own troubled development

Which like all progress must come from deep within and

Cannot be forced or accelerated.

Everything must be carried to term before its born. ()

Come to completion inside,

In the the dark, ()

Unattainable to one’s own intellect ()

To wait

With deep humility

And patience

For the hour

When a new clarity

Is

Delivered ()

These things cannot be measured by time

A year has no meaning, and ten years are nothing. ()

Like a tree which does not hurry the flow of its sap

And stands at ease in the spring gales

Without fearing that no summer will follow.

It will come. ()

To those ()

Patient ()

Simply there in their vast,

Quiet tranquility

As if eternity lay before them.

It is a lesson I learn every day amid hardships I am grateful for:

Patience is all

Works of art ()

Only love can grasp them ()

Trust yourself and your instincts;

Even if you go wrong in your judgement,

The natural growth of your inner life will gradually, over time

Lead you to other insights.

Read as little as possible in the way of esthetics and criticism -

It will either be partisan views,

Fossilized and made meaningless in its lifeless rigidity,

Or it will be neat wordplay

Where one opinion will triumph one day

And the opposite the next.

The more one reads it, it seems to contain everything,

From life’s faintest scent to the full, grand savour of its heaviest fruits.

There is nothing in it that has not been understood, grasped, lived, and known in memory’s trembling, lingering resonance;

No experience too slight, and the merest occurence unfolds a fate ()

A wonderful, vast fabric

In which every thread is drawn ()

And laid next to another, held in place by a hundred others.

RE: https://exquisite.social/@p01/116276623560640682

The only advise I have is this: to go into yourself and to examine the depths from, which your life springs; at its source you will find the answer whether you h a v e to ()

Accept this answer as it is, without seeking to interpret it.

Perhaps it will turn out that you are called to be a ()

Assume this fate and bear it, its burden and its greatness, without ever asking after the rewards that may come from outside. For (s, p01) he who creates must be a world of its own and find everything with him (her, p01) self and in the natural world that (s, p01) he has elected to follow.

But perhaps even after this descent into your solitariness you will () give up the idea of becoming a ()

But even then, to have taken pause in the way I am asking you will not have been in vain. Whatever happens, your life will find its own paths from that point on,

And that they may be good, productive, and far reaching is something

I wish for you more than I can say.

You asked me whether your verses are good. You ask me that. You have asked others, before ()

Go into yourself. Examine the reason that bids you to write; check whether it reaches its roots into the deepest region of your heart ()

Turn your attention towards that ()

Your loneliness will open up and become a twilit dwelling in which noise ()

Is only heard far off.

And if from this turn inwards, from this submersion in your own world, there come verses, then it will not occur to you to ask anyone whether they are good ()

A work of art is good if it has risen out of necessity, The verdict on it lies in this nature of its origin: there is no other.
