To the frail and fragile innocent, may you continue to be supple; bending and yielding, singing and swaying through the darkest and harshest of passing storms?
To the soft and sweet underbelly of childhood, may you continue to marvel and wonder at the beauty of life; fearing nothing – not even fear itself, by seeing that light and shadow is one and the same?
To the fretful and fearful child, may you choose adulthood; breaking free of shackles of past oppressions, maintaining curiosity of wonder and delight?
To the reactive and reproachable, may you choose to be present; diagnosing your behavioral patterns and overreactions as self-protection mechanisms arising from past hurts; quickly see things as they are and ask yourself, ‘is this serving my present and highest self, or are you engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors’?
To the tired and tyrant, may you retreat into the darkness; protecting the world from your ego and yourself from the world, don’t forget that being right and alone will only bring more suffering; Ask yourself thrice, “Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?”
To the fully grown and giant, may you choose to take flight; trusting the universe to catch and hold you as you fall, enjoying every moment, as they come and go?
