Hello


Laugh, become accustomed to laughing

Roll, let it roll off of your back, roll of of your ego, roll off of whatever pride has kept you in tact

Eat, get hungry and eat

Feed your face for the desire to leap

Leap, leap off of the cliff of comfortability and into the air of possibility

Rise, rise up, your actions are heard louder than your words

Dance, remember that you have legs and feet, arms and hands

Look, open your eyes and look

While there is still a sunrise and sunset

While fascias, oranges, and honey melons still create the skyline's silhouette 

Welcome, welcome to breathing
