Maybe there's a day stretching out ahead of you.
Maybe it's filled with worry,
Uncertainty,
Too much to do and too little time to do it.
Maybe there is a day behind you.
Maybe it's filled with missteps.
Pain,
Regret,
Whatever the case may be.
Inhale,
Exhale,
Let it all go.
Welcome to a hit of hope.
Maybe it's cold,
Dark.
Maybe you're feeling alone,
Whether you are surrounded by people or not.
Maybe it seems as if everyone else is thriving while you are doing everything you can just to survive.
Maybe you feel trapped,
Broken.
Maybe you can't figure out how to get even the smallest bit of light back in your life.
Maybe you don't know how to get more air,
How to believe,
Hope.
If you're facing any of those battles,
Inhale,
Exhale,
Come back to life.
That might be by saying yes.
It might be by remembering your dreams,
No matter how old or battered they might be.
Come back to life.
Come back to your sense of wonder.
Watch a leaf fall.
Watch a bird fly.
This is your story.
This is your story.
This is your chance to sing in the cold castle.
This is your chance to dance in the dead leaves.
You are here.
Get up.
Get going.
This is your chance to claim your life,
To make your own magic,
To set in motion your very own happy ending.
Not where everything is perfect,
But where you are real.
Right now,
You are alive.
You are still alive.
Dammit,
Get up.
Get going.
Get out there.
This is your chance.
You are here.
Write your own happy ending.
Namaste.
