No Progress Without Pain Poem by Genova Maaa my mother

Creation, becoming, transcendence
are very painful processes at its best.

The passion of Christ is the best proof
for the cosmic journey to perfection.
It is the path of eternal wisdom.

This seemingly dreadful law of inner life
is so bitterly true that it becomes fantastic.

‚No progress without pain‘ is so true
that it asserts itself in the mystical journey.
