Optare (To Choose)

The power is within you

choose anything to do

to learn

to dream 

to live

It's all up to you

Maybe you wish to travel the world

meeting people, experiencing the unimaginable.

Maybe it's on the cable cars of California, in the fairy tale castles of Scotland, or even down the snowy caps of the Alps

There is no limit, no boundary, 

No lock- the world is your - and you have the key

It's all up to you.

No? Not your style? 

Do you prefer the comfort of the cozy abode? 

The linen sheets and down pillows are more of  the kind of excitements you wish for. 

The warmth draws you in, hugging you, to lie for a while....

A day, or two, or three... no plans at all

Netflix, food, the company of oneself.

If this is your style, then so be it.

It's all up to you.

Maybe you year to discover

pouring hours into research of the not yet known

your love of learning prevails.

Apps, Robots, Computers, Medicine, Prosthetics, Electricity, Biofuels

designed by you and me.

It's almost like fiction thinking of all the power of one mind.

Given hands, a brain, no more, and 

you can change the world/

It's all up to you.

But, that, that is not the point

The places, the knowledge, the discoveries, the people, the ideas

These are not the fairest of them all, though they be great.

NO the true beauty lies elsewhere

CHOICE! 

The greatest gift bestowed upon mankind.

The power is in our hands.

Do nothing, do everything.

Live your life - or don't 

No force has tied you to a certain place 

It's not written in the stars

No, there's no inevitable fate.

The power is yours,

Seize it,

or let it free.

The choice lies in you

but you are tied down to nothing.

Beauty from this comes not from the action, but from the creator. 

How far can one simply go on his own?

It's all up to you.
