here to do.

if you’re a fire, burn bright. if you’re a lamp, shine your light. if you are water, nourish your earth. air must explore its world. even if no one sees. even if there’s no company for the journey. even if your gift is too much, too soon.

if you’re a seed, allow yourself to be planted. bloom if you’re a flower. ripen if you’re a fruit. reach for the sky if you’re a tree. even if no one waters you. even if no one picks you. even if you wither on the vine. even if you are felled by the wind.

if you are a builder, you build. over and over. even if it all comes down. if you are a runner, you must go the distance. you must hit your top speed. even if they try to stop you. even if the finish line is nowhere in sight. if you are a soldier, you must fight. if you are a dancer, you dance. stage or no stage. partnered or not. in silence, if you have to. if you have a story, let it be told. even only for yourself.

why? because the only thing for you to do is to be. who you are and what you do is an invitation that no one has to accept. it’s not for them. you are an expression of the divine, which is whole and complete and exists for its own sake. for its own pleasure. remember that. and remember, too, if you are love, then you must love.
