Be well, Let me share this beautiful poem that encourages us to trust in ourselves….. If death is inevitable, if it is a sure then— why spend a moment more refusing, Why not, instead, love every honeyed drop of yourself, why not take this quickly passing day Julia Fehernbacher

WHY NOT?
thing that this face, these hands,
this body that holds a lifetime of this living,
will, someday, no longer be here,
if you don’t get to take a single thing with you—
worrying about who might disapprove,
measuring every move
as if there is some fixed formula you must
find? Why hold tight to anything?
why not leap into life—belly-laughing
and light, light like the soft kiss of moonlight,
light like the light that you are,
have always been, will always be—
by the hand and dance
like there’s no tomorrow? And if you’re too tired
to dance, why not rest lightly here
just as you are?
