The purpose of life is to enjoy it, and when you are trying too hard, too adamant about the way things are supposed to be, the way people are suppose to act and do and be in the book of “your rules,” the easier it is to become cynical.

            Fight against this hardened way of being, and find a way to fly a kite, to be light, to add a modicum of peace to all that you do: smile, joke, be jovial, play, look for the good, look on the bright side—for being right is not always the right thing.

Do the right thing, sometimes is as easy as smiling, as letting the trials and tribulation and the tintinnabulations ring true, and fly away…fade away, dissolve in this hour of fun and excitement as you stretch for a dream, and create physical manifestations in a world of sunshine and singing children and people who are willing to step outside the norm—take a risk, strive for the greatness.  See the new.  Find those willing to walk on thin ice.

“If you are walking on thin ice you might as well dance.”

            Let all that is bothersome go out the window.  Let your irritation and elation found a happy ground where peace and beauty and awe, where delight overrides all dis-ease, dis-comfort and discord.

Be the light behind the darkness, the dancer and singer and inventor of calculated risks that end up in patent offices with plaques and applauses and bags full of money.

            You are this light in the fog today, this encouragement of others, for though they may have many excuses of why they do what they do, let them be excused.  Let them wrangle with the devil.  Let them stew in the absurdity of their own rationality.

You do not need to point this out to them; all you need is to agree with a grin, with an all knowing.   

Just find those who are so hungry, they are willing to chase away the alarm and fear and excuses, so you that you can find and enjoy and play with race horses, and let the mules try (as they might) to drag themselves up a hill.  Remember: “You cannot (even) lead a mule to water.”

Be not critical.   Do not point fingers, or stir up the part of any human being that is sacred and true to them, where they live inside with conviction and resolve to be right. 

“Let them be right even if it takes them out of the light.”

            Instead, you do right; for the belief and conviction of being right is not all that is made out to be.

            Be the happy camper, the gopher in soft dirt, the happy idiot, “for life is so much more about how you feel, not how you squeal,” not how you complain and criticize the masses and the government and the world for you being born.

            Be fun in the sun and the rest are easy streets, walks in the park, out on a lark and genuinely, 100% living above the waterlines.  Let awe and happenstance, romance and perfection fill your gills.

            The rest is lesser minds inventing situations that get in the way of undulating enlightenment.

            “Chose your path, and give up the wrath.”

Live the life you desire and all your wishes will come true.
