Look, it’s always a dangerous state
- exuberance –
a place that leads to Falls, especially
when others might be watching; brothers,
sisters, fathers,
mothers. I predict they might laugh
loudly at you - like any cynic -
but on bright
days when the sun winks, let it out.
This one has been kicking around in my head for weeks. Exuberance, yes, the joy & delight in life. It IS in this state that I tend to make an absolute fool of myself, I guess we all do. And it is in this state that we may come closest to a celebration of life & God. Yes, yes, when the sun winks, let it out. Keep Going
ReplyDeleteyou just can't hold that exuberance back if you are really lving. thanks for reminding us to live
ReplyDeleteExuberance is often these days out of my grasp, but staring into mortality's awful maw, the need for grasping for life, no matter what may come, is ever profound.
