Saying Yes To Everything ...




























When you see mist, step into it.  When you see a path you've never walked before, past 100 year old houses, park the car and get on with it.  When you see a lighthouse you've never been inside before, climb it.  Vigorously.  When you meet a possible new shamanic ally and he asks you what your name is, say it proudly.  (Icarus seems to have acquired an exclamation point when I write it.  Icarus!  Yeah ... )  When the opportunity arises to walk and walk and walk, for miles and miles and miles, along the shoreline, over a big bridge, up and over exit ramps that were not meant for pedestrians, don't ask how you're going to get back to the car.  When the sky turns red and you think you can't bear the beauty of it, keep looking.  Don't turn away.  And if you can, remember how you felt, so you can tell the people in your life, especially those not physically present, what it was like to say yes to everything, at least for one day.
