(for tonight’s river play…and welcoming how alive the “little things” make me feel…)
ALIVE
dream of gypsy travel
catch fireflies
spit fruit seeds
create love
create anything
sip in sunsets
~celebrate~
take in the words of other souls…{and then let them go}
cultivate astounding affairs with books
dry your clothes out in the sun
amuse yourself
dance until you are dizzy
revel in ridiculousness
focus on the path that you are most attracted to (even if it is the one that is most unrealistic)
awaken
express who you truly are and allow others to do the same
believe in magic
chant “yes”
you are loved
“don’t ask what the world needs. ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
