The Ease of Life: A Poetic Journey

By Henrik Flørenes

This book brings you closer to the easefulness of life. This unnoticeable flow, that has always been there, but not always seen. A flow that leads you onwards through life and reveals to you the subtleties of your body, mind and soul. These small poems bring you in direct contact with the changes of life, talking you through them with trust and patience. Each poem gives different perspective of the myriads of life, closing the gaps of perception. And as the energies behind these words come forwards, they sing of simplicity and laughter. A life in fearlessness, compassion and joy emerges, allowing our body, mind and soul to partake in the changes of life, gradually seeing more and more. And as thus the changes will come out from the shadows of our perception and reveal themselves. Life becomes the trustful companion it always was. So kick back, relax and enjoy this text. But most of all, know that in seeing life, nothing is needed. All is already there, and the energy is leading you forwards.

To my many teachers on my way, but most of all to my body for being the most patient and giving teacher of all, and for bringing me directly in contact with life.

Foreword

A path came into clarity upon meeting both Chiropractic and Taichi. They spoke about a wisdom within our body, a wisdom that could maintain the health and flexibility of our body. And in looking within my body, I found this wisdom, a wisdom that was leading me on through life. Leading me gradually through the physical body and further into the soft body. And as maturity grew, all emotions and thoughts were seen, and the universe unraveled. Patiently the subtleties of life were revealed and our maturity as human beings clarified.

As life started to lead me on, the rules of man gradually fell away, and the flow of life emerged. And as life gradually showed its face, I met a silent compassion patiently leading me onwards through the ups and downs
