Être

 TO BE 

is perhaps the secret 

ingredient

pinterest

that precedes having the 

capacity 

TO DO.

To swing high 

to touch the moon




pinterest via


you must be

BOLD

and 

BRAVE

on solid ground.

AND

to make something 



pinterest via



from nothing



pinterest via


you must be a tad bit


MAD.

pinterest via



So if you can't write 

a  poem



pinterest via

BE 

THE POEM


pinterest via


via



 and before you know it


YOU

will emerge



pinterest via



and your self-expression

 will follow



pinterest via


in perfect steps


via
 

and sure footing



via


to reveal 

your 

secret ingredient


via


of sweet surprise 

in order to 


Do ordinary things with extraordinary love.

Let's Pretend

It's all child's play
source unknown

almost a

 ChARaDE

via


or a masquerade 

that we play



via


until we 

get it right.



via

This pursuit we call 

wonder


calls us

to look out 


tumblr
 
with a believing heart



pinterest via

and to share what 

our art 

 can capture. 


But when we fail


we simply try again.


Let's Pretend


and play the role 

we wish to be


via

and continue with dignity
until 

we get it right



because child's play


via

will one day


become

reality.
