Live as if love were a garden, filled with succulent fruit, decay and growth in their seasons, nourishment after the planting, the tending, the weeding.

Live as if spring was a fountain of joy rushing through your being, summer the way you do your work—opened wide, daring to be tasted, daring to be plucked, casual in the heat, determined to ripen.

Live as if tenderness was your birthright, as if gentle touch is the way the world caresses you, as if you were a dancer with a piece of sky in your hands.

Live as if you are an old lady with ribbons around your hat and flowers in your hair, unstoppable, wild.

Live as if everyone you meet is a friend, everywhere you stop an adventure is about to begin.

Live as if surrender moment by moment is possible, a work of art crafted by your own two hands.

Live as if beauty was the way you love the world, the beauty of thunderstorms, the beauty of the pearl created by friction within the oyster, the beauty of conversation, the beauty of not knowing the future only moving towards it in good company for the sake of becoming whole.
