Empty Vessels

Look beyond the given meaning,
the proclaimed interpretation
and the reason-less assumption when you read.


Neutral words are empty vessels
that adjust to what’s been added.
In their changed-to-fit condition they mislead.


Always keep your vision open
to their all-including essence.
Stop confusing them with what they may contain.


Fights about what they imply from
colored angles dissipate when
we’re in touch with what they overall explain.

 

Jerry Corstens A visionary dreamer with a blind passion for self-reflection and contemplating life, a self-proclaimed philosopher with poetic ambitions. He’s serious about helping people with the insights he gathered, but playful in the way he communicates his wisdom. It made him leave a career as environmental engineer behind, in favor of becoming a personal development coach and thought-provoking writer.
