IF SHE COULD…GENTLY LOVE AND PROTECT! ALAS…LETTING US FALL AND GET UP AGAIN IS LOVING, TOO! ❤
If I could, I would shield you from your own sorrows. From phones that don’t ring, the 7 AM alarm clock, missing the train, fair-weather friends, the frayed ends of the welcome mat.
I would protect you from backaches and headaches, and unnecessary tirades, the losing team. Mostly, I wouldshelter you from false hope, people with an agenda to harm, and those wildflowers meant only to disarm.
I would encourage you to take ferries and planes, and leave the ink revised map at home, to become a mid spring season, dandelions covered, savor the sunshine, take risk. Breathe.
Remember the music of your soul. Listen to your heart’s sway. I would imploreyou to make love, make art, and to praise the song and rhythm your body prays.
