What if,
you rarely read fiction
didn\u2019t ever pay much attention to the
best seller list
preferred a good deep dive
into biography
or learning something
new <\/p>\n\n\n\n
what if you didn\u2019t much do
netflix\u00a0\u00a0
or really even which of those buttons to push\u00a0
didn\u2019t quite understand the\u00a0\u00a0
binge part\u00a0\u00a0
of\u00a0\u00a0
anything\u00a0
much preferred a good masterpiece\u00a0
theatre\u00a0
or hockey game\u00a0
even when, this left you little fodder\u00a0
for small talk\u00a0
\u00a0
what if you put your trust\u00a0\u00a0
in learning and research, and people\u00a0
much\u00a0
smarter than you\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and your faith in love\u00a0
and\u00a0\u00a0
simple kindness\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
what if you made the decision
to not eat anything\u00a0
that had been killed\u00a0\u00a0
for you\u00a0
and felt a peace in the deepest part\u00a0
of your being, as the most\u00a0
natural thing,
no real decisions required\u00a0
not a case for judgement of anyone else\u00a0
just an innate sense of\u00a0\u00a0
kindness\u00a0\u00a0
for yourself\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
what if you learned to say no
without explanation\u00a0
put a period at the end\u00a0
and felt perfectly ok with that\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
left behind the shoulds
and the musts\u00a0
and the why doesn\u2019t she…\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
what if you filled yourself up so full\u00a0
of love\u00a0
that even on the bad-ish\u00a0days\u00a0
bits of bright things\u00a0
couldn\u2019t help\u00a0\u00a0
spilling\u00a0\u00a0
out\u00a0
like little gold stars\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
what if you followed the sun
but admired the clouds\u00a0
as was the natural flow of\u00a0\u00a0
things\u00a0
that are<\/p>\n\n\n\n
felt
deeply the world
and talked often to yourself
or the birds
\u00a0
what if you admired most\u00a0
those that\u00a0
brought their courage\u00a0
to the stepping-over-anyways
even if
the hurtles break\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and what then if you showed up\u00a0
just as yourself
no self promoting picture roll required
just you
each
time
\u00a0
