About Fearlessness
The wise do not fear death
Nor do they grieve
For what cannot be lost
Having looked deeply
Into the heart of existence
They can see beyond
The polarity of life and death

Hazy Blue Mountain
Hazy blue mountain at a distance
How far away are you?
To me, you are right here
Closer than the tip of my nose
How could I ever believe
You were outside of me?
— Andreas Frickinger
Patient Mountains
Looking down into the valley
Shapes of clouds seem numberless
Up here, the weather changes quickly
Sun, wind, clouds and rain
Conduct an endless symphony
The lake reflects without a preference
As patient mountains listen deeply

Sommerspaziergang
Da ist er
Er kommt also von nirgendwo
und er geht nirgendwo hin
Zwei flackernde Lichter in der Ferne
bellende Hunde
warmer Wind auf der Haut
ein sicherer Stand auf der Erde
so friedlich – inmitten von Allem
Wenn das Herz aufgeht
schließt es nichts aus
und es fügt auch nichts Unnötiges hinzu
Da ist er
der Geschmack von Freiheit
— Andreas Frickinger
True Silence
A noisy mountain river
Waves of sound
Dancing around trees
Miraculously entering my ears
No one here
To disturb the silence
— Andreas Frickinger
Vastness
Fallen into
This vast universe without meaning
Lonely and caught up in confusion
Taken away by the winds of separation
Suddenly
A glimpse of reunion
Guided by precious beings
Although no beings can be found anywhere
A longing to be united
With unconditional peace
Searching for miracles in the wrong places
All of them to be found within the breath
As body and mind become transparent
The heart
Steps out of its self-made confinements
Into the vastness of it all
— Andreas Frickinger
