Participate in life!

Do

you want

to live in

a room safely

mourning your freedom?

Climb that sprawling oak tree,

stand atop a jungle Jim,

walk a forest trail listening

to nightfall howling in the distance,

daring to create your finest moments.

We groom our children to accept a cage,

mental prisons formed from safety’s bars,

denying their need to prepare

 for a universal truth…

Safe is an illusion.

Seek out adventure,

feel life flowing

inside you,

where joy

waits.
