My Dear Friend
Purchased for you is this life you now take for granted
You resist birth, wishing to limit your experiences to the navel of your mother.
Accept this request I have of you
Resist leaving what you fought so hard to avoid
This place is harsh and winding
In its shadows lurk unfriendly shades of evil
Cornered, they are taking from you every inch of life you were given
Fight, cower not
If you cannot laugh, smirk.
That upward curve will defeat bit by bit the solid wall that is blocking out the light that longs to illuminate your face
Winning is not the goal of this inward battle
It is to bring the fight outside of ourselves
Into the streets
Into the schools
Into our art
Be a light
Illuminate outwardly
Every child struggles to fight the experience called Life
Don't forget that
It is our duty to face the storm of living
To be the sun that makes the flowers in every child grow
Define your life by choosing life.
Never give up
The journey is happening
Hold your heart out
Let's go
