Reminder to Self

I believe life is to be lived

Where fear is just an indicator

Of something your soul knows it has to do

It is the risk of walking off the edge and not knowing…

…where your foot will land

It is following that feeling in your gut

That lights up like a firework

For no rhyme or reason

Life is short

It always has been

Even shorter when the days are being wasted

On a road gone stale

The courageous ones know

How to let it all go

And trembling they move forward

Knowing life is not to be taken for granted

This terrifyingly beautiful gift of life

Swept away at any instant

This precious life is worthy

Of our greatest devotion

To taste it

Smell it

Live it

Love it

Let it go a million times

And follow it to the ends of the world

When it’s call beckons in the wind
