Loss... and Found



Breathe.
Laugh.
Giggle.
Play.
Grieve.
Sing.
Dance.
Smile.
Cry.
Make love.
Fight.
Make up.
Pray.
Eat the damned pie.
Drink that heady wine.
Stay up late to watch autumn's harvest moon, even if your feet are freezing.
Camp out under the stars and watch a horse's breath mist the night.
Plunge into water that takes the very air from your lungs.
Smell the sulfur from a freshly lit match and touch the flame to your fire.
Unfurl your sail and feel the strength of the wind as it drives you forward.
Place one foot in front of the other and crest that ridge.
Get a glimpse of the world from a fresh vantage point.
Cut the wave with your paddle and strain against the current.
Break your own heart and repair it with more beautiful glue.
Kiss.
Read.
Embrace.
Sweat.
Fail.
Grow.
Learn.
Thrill!
Shiver.
Feel the burn.
Feel alive.
Do.
Be.

Gloriously flawed.
On the mountain of your life...
Live!
