It can be painful to suddenly fall But that moment in reality is purely tall You see, one’s true is another’s false The bridge that joins the awful with awe The perspective on evens or odds What matters the most is energy of raw The radiant glow of the innate aura The burning fire of the very core It was sparked by that sudden fall
Dear all,
I’m turning off the comments for a while…there’s too much going on & it’s been challenging for me to stay focused without feeling drained…I don’t want to click, click, scroll, repeat just to stay in the “loop”…when I read a poem, I want to give it my full attention…but lately, I can’t even manage to check a handful of posts a day…I know I’m missing out on a lot, but I need to do this to find my rhythm…and hopefully, regain my balance…I’ll still be here, just in a slightly different way…thank you very much for your understanding and support 💫🖤✨🤍
A unique composition of tiny matters Tightly packed in a labeled container Dancing spark triggers animated reaction Liftoff in a matter of a crazy short duration Unknown height of uncontrolled levitation Piercing the clouds of smoking dimension Fireworks in the sky with a deafening explosion Observing this scene in super slow motion A swirling pattern is the new revelation Unleashing sacred demon in Universal creation
To me, sacred demon is a zen master of different kind…this kind can be found in the pain-body, illness, suffering, difficult moments, imbalance or anything else of that sort…the whole perspective changes when one comes in contact with it…
Sacred demon is guiding me to…
look deeper…
observe & learn…
walk slower than the slowest if needed…
have a mindful approach…
take one breath at a time & forget about the rest…
appreciate the value of every word & step…
appreciate what I have at present than to focus on what I could have
see the beauty of this life
That’s the purpose of sacred demon in my eyes…but one has to “pay” to see this way…to reach this place…it’s crazy difficult at times but it’s not impossible if one is determined…this is how I see it…if I were seeing it as just a demon, then the whole story would be different…coz then it would simply “eat” me alive in no time…

So here’s a different kind of sharing…it’s related to my younger son, Sofus-Samir…he has been passionate about 2 things…Animals & Fortnite…these days, it’s not so much Fortnite though…the main reason of Balou (the labrador dog) & Zorro (the cat) + some other cats previously joining our family is Sofus…he has always been attached to animals…
Since the past 3 months, he’s been going to Copenhagen Zoo to meet chimpanzees…yeah, chimpanzee family is his passion & love…he’s in the zoo 4-5 times a week…he feels home when he’s over there…one day, he wants to be a chimpanzee care taker…Sofus has been taking videos & photos at the Zoo…we, the parents are doing the same coz we find it interesting as well…the Zoo personnel knows him & the Chimp family recognize him…he communicates with them & observes how they behave…Sofus knows each & every chimp, including their individual personality….we thought why not support his passion & take it to the next level…why not share the pictures & videos with the rest of the world…why not let him grow his passion the way he wants to…why not tell his story…so, we’ve created his own YouTube channel last month…CHIMPANZEE TV—> youtube.com/@chimpanzee-tv
It’s been growing rapidly & we’re happy to see that people from all over the world are taking interest & subscribing to his channel…Just a few days ago, we created Instagram handle as well—> @chimpanzeetv_
If you have a kid in the family, who likes chimps &/or if you like them as well, then please do visit his YouTube Channel…the videos speak for themselves…please support Sofus by subscribing to his channel & whichever other ways you can…please spread the word to your friends & family if possible…it would mean a lot to him & of course, to me & the whole family…every single drop of your effort is highly appreciated 🙏✨❤️💫
The Backstory / Caption
Our younger son, Sous-Samir was diagnosed with Autism in 2019…today he’s 11 year old but when he was younger, he used to have bigger meltdowns…coz we, the parents & the previous preschool and school weren’t able to understand and handle his behaviour…we and the professionals around him didn’t have enough knowledge & guidance back then…later my wife and I found out that he has a PDA profile of autism as we started to observe him more & read about that type…it gave us much better understanding of the kiddo…and why previous autistic pedagogy had failed… luckily today we are in a much better place, but the early years has left its mark on him, making it difficult for him to overcome his fear of demands (PDA), particularly in a school context…
After a year of going to a public school with a small class for autist children and several traumatic experiences of retention, he ended up refusing going to school…and after a year at home, he was offered a special school for autistic children…however, this wasn’t easy for him either, like entering the premises…to be in the class room was close to impossible…the school tried everything they possibly could for more than a year but unfortunately, it didn’t work out well…they didn’t have expertise in PDA…but the municipality still kept forcing us & the school that he must continue…
The tussle with municipality started…several meetings with them, the consultants, psychologists etc…the municipality decided to send the kiddo to another school (chosen by them) with worse setup than the previous school…We did visit the school & talked with the principal & the personnel coz we wanted to give it a chance…even the principal of that school meant, they didn’t have the competence in PDA & it’s not the right choice…but the municipality didn’t care…they were still forcing us…so we lodged a complaint against them around one year back…The Danish Supervisory Board (Ankestyrelsen in danish), who was supposed to take the decision, had forgotten our case & we heard from them after one year…finally the decision came, where they had asked the municipality to reopen the case, check everything properly, take the decision & contact us…But in this back & forth tussle with the municipality, 4 years of Sofus’ potential school life has been lost…He has asked us several times why he simply can’t go to a school just like the other kids…it’s quite a difficult question, you know…he gets sad & angry at times coz the kiddo misses school, especially the school mates part- the companionship…
Last year, we were interviewed by a journalist…a couple of articles were then published in the local newspaper about Sofus…it’s to share Sofus’ story & to share how badly the municipality was handling our & several other cases…perhaps, due to pressure from the management – cost cutting structure…whatever it may be, it has taken away so many years & a lot of energy…and not to forget, this all has given stress…
On 10th June, we were informed that the municipality is still recommending the same school…that school choice was the result, we lodged our first complaint…so nothing new has come out from their side…this is crazy frustrating, disappointing & we’re quite shaken…the kiddo is very sad & angry…he was showing those emotions verbally & as if he were an alpha chimp…the whole 2024 will be gone in this tussle…we’ll be lodging a new complaint…the fight continues…sighs…
However, we strongly believe whatever happens, it happens for a reason…the Universe has its own plan…and while leaning into that trust, we will support his passion for animals as much as we can…and hope you will support him too by subscribing to his YouTube channel and/or following him on Instagram…thank you very much for reading this far and for your love, support & care ✨💜💫
I’m freewriting in the dark with the diamond blade The sharp edge is dancing wild with the lightning speed The sparks of these lines re-form that lively phase When I was drawn to this life on my dying slate Hemorrhage had hammered my house in the surprising way I was down on the floor when I finished eating my evening meal
I couldn’t rise & walk towards my grounded bed I was struggling quite a lot with no balanced stance So I began to slowly crawl with my warrior pace While I was holding the drops from my sighing face I was living that instance so raw from the shocking place So I broke into small pieces & some enormous like the shiny vase
Tears did the crystal clear talk on my wavy stage Fear started to poke delicate walls of my clotted brain I couldn’t sleep under the sheet at all for several nights & days That scene was running in slo-mo like the never ending race I would replay & then simply pause to absorb & sense It was an unbelievable moment after all of my reality check
The Universe was initiating a call to tell it’s time for a change Coz I had been sleeping for too long in the shallow depths I felt instantly I wasn’t resting anymore in the coffin case That waking up call made me explore the enlightened space Weakness in me to the core but I started to gain some strength It’s time to transform my spots into the constellation of true self
This is pure sharing based on my experience…I’m neither suggesting anything nor giving any kind of advice…I’ve observed one thing about trauma in me that it doesn’t leave the body & the system…and perhaps, it will never…but the way I deal with it has changed…if I’m open to see it with the eyes of acceptance, understanding & compassion, then it doesn’t affect me with the same intensity as it used to…a mood swing is bare minimal…sometimes I do relive those scenes through the memory screen…but I don’t stop that “movie” instantly even when it’s not a nice place to be…the magical fireworks of healing has different colours, projections & decibels…it’s not necessarily a peaceful process…I feel, it’s better to see & observe the traumatic experience mindfully & let it slowly settle down than to simply block it…feel it, be with it & talk about it to the trusted dear ones and/or seek professional help if necessary…and of course, write poetry or choose another way to express it…
I’m simply sharing that hospital scene from 2019 in the form of this poetry…my purpose isn’t to gain sympathy nor am I feeling sorry for me…coz I know what I have…I have fully accepted it & I have made peace with it

On my kitchen floor I stand still A thought appears at a normal bandwidth When I start mixing the fine flour with Eggs, salt, beer & some oat milk To make batter for the pancakes While I tune-in to some old tracks
But I’m sure you can already sense that It’s not about cooking golden brown pancakes I’m simply shaking the manmade pain can Without triggering the vapours escape my brain cells It’s my way to ‘handle with care’ the fragile caged self It’s to pencil the portrait of my shaded landscape
Pain & I know each other better than the pen-friends We used to play hide & scream quite often back then That led to fluctuating beat underneath the bare chest There were times when we used to play the game of plain chess The swift moves we framed on those black & white squared shapes To win the battle through defence / attack in a split splash
Didn’t know I was battling against myself through those matches The Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Rook, Queen & King were my own images I realized it was never about winning, losing or those checkmates The key was to keep myself in check with acceptance at a mindful pace Coz I know, there will always be pain in one or the other way But there will also be love in several forms in this Milky Way
By the way, I wasn’t cooking those pancakes for myself I was flipping me to observe different dimensions in this heating process

I’m gliding high with colourful birds on either side Freestyling on the fly with my broadened wing size Airing natural rhymes in an infinitely open sky Holding ball of fire with calmness in my fluid eyes Beaming rays of light through the shiny translucent blinds
Bleeding diamonds once felt like the breaking point Shockwave was running into me when I was paralyzed Countless spots in my shell suffocated me numerous times Realized one day that steep falls were designed to slowly rise I’m able to see that patterns & forms aren’t the real I
The gorgeous beauty of the moon in the magical night Walking on partly visible path in the now is pure enlightenment The spiritual energy is creating the magnetic ocean tides Unknown depths I’m reaching when I tune in to inner shine The new sides I’m sensing when I keep redying to be alive
Transforming cutthroat screams to the meaningful voice Sanding inner wall that was clayed with layered noise Dissolving deeper scars with the mindful sacred silence Blowing on greyish site to ignite sparks of life Manifesting formless trees on the naked & barren soil

I hear this anxiety is escalating slowly on my top floor While silence is hiding under the pillow from the screaming thoughts Restlessness has started filling my rough surface with the titanium foam I’m breathing heavily & shivering but it’s not coz it’s freezing cold So I start kneading my feet against each other to feel the needed warmth My body is gradually curling under the duvet in the consoling C form Anxiety is shaking me with this weird feeling of being the immortal corpse
It’s exhausting & daunting to choose this path to be all alone But my mind is fighting constantly while the heart has chosen to let it go My fluid eyes are wired to this immersive scene where I lay on bed & freely float I let anxiety travel inside of me without allowing it to absorb the shiny core It’s pinpointing these tiny dots on its way to create a meaningful flow This movement is painful but it’s better than to cage anxiety in the concealed box So I’m mindfully reconnecting to the silence where there’s no need to speak anymore

Just look at this beautiful scene Sunny beams in minus five degree C Snow is the shiny jewel of the trees The ground is decorated with calming tapestry The impressions of feet can be very deep But they will disappear one day eventually What to lose & what to achieve It’s never about the win or defeat Just close or open your lids as you please And breathe in & out this winter breeze in peace Listen carefully to the intuition & the beat The energy is real, it’s pure & serene The heaven is here, it has always been Look deep within coz you’re this beautiful scene
Enjoy the video / reel version…This beautiful video is taken by myself…
