What if you believed it would all work out?
Would your breath come with ease
would you giggle at yourself, delight in the breeze
raise your waving hand, yell out “me too,”
with the aliveness of your five year old self?
Would you skip across the parking lot
dressed in sequins, colors that say, “I have arrived.”
Would you walk long enough to greet the dusk
stepping lightly until it kissed the sky goodnight?
What if you did?

Thanks for letting me know you could relate to my words. No matter how old we get the child in all of us is still there, we just forget or become afraid.

Yes, I believe I would do all those things! So maybe I need to try to believe that things generally work out too!

Oh Ali, this is incredible. Wonderful message and words… I especially love the last two lines:
Would you walk long enough to greet the dusk
stepping lightly until it kissed the sky goodnight?
They touched the little girl in me. 🙂 So inspirational and soothing (and a little whimsical!) all at the same time.
Sending you blessings, Ali.
Love and Light,
Debbie

I started to notice how often we think about what will go wrong and started wondering why we don’t think more about it all working out.
Keep on writing, hoping, dreaming. Have a beautiful day.
