BRYANT PARK NYC to GLENREIGH

Maturity is realizing true strength lies
not in avoiding the storm,
 but in dancing in the rain
while believing the sun will return.
You're winning when you're challenged,
but you choose calmly responding
With hope.
Re focus light heartedly
on your resilience,
not comparing, competing
Or the so called
finish line.
Choose progress over
perfection.
Choose a level of grace
Not perfection. 
Like energy attracts like energy. 
Neediness attracts neediness. 
Wholeness attracts wholeness. 
Fuck buddies attract fuck buddies. 
Joy attracts joy. 
Firstly, 
Be The Chsnge. 
Cease the Reaching. 
From love not for love. 
Firstly 
Be whole not perfect. 
Accept your whole self, 
UNWAVERING SELF LOVE. 
And simply, serenely, wildly, 
Be FULLY
what you want to attract. 

You can't control spontaneity. 

You can't prescribe joy. 

You can't force natural ways of connecting 

into a formal process. 

(Not without changing them that is). 

You can't guarantee certainty. 

You can't remove feelings of doubt. 

We can listen 

We can be interested 

We can ask better questions 

We can learn to sit with uncertainty 

TO BE MORE THAN 

OK WITH NOT KNOWING 

and simply 

be there with each other.
