As the T-shirts have said
Do not wait to be happy
Don’t save living until things are achieved
And everything sorted
Do it now
Listen to the wind in the bushes
Feel the asphalt love against your feet
Be curious. Especially about yourself
And be gentle
Above all, be gentle
Take care around those who are not
They hurt, for they know not what they do
Watch them. And learn from them
what happens when rightness is prized
over being kind.
Before they die
– if they are lucky –
something will wake them
Some deep loss, or breakdown, or tragedy
will shake them alive.
Be there when this happens
And help them
You have love to spare
