Be Where You Are

Meggie & Éric Backcountry Camping in Denali National Park, Alaska

And be grateful.

Be grateful.

You awoke this morning.

Your soul remained in your beautiful body.

Your mind slowly came to her senses, and invited you into the day.

Your heart worked selflessly and tirelessly the whole night through.

Pah poom. Pah poom. Pah poom.

You awoke.

And that, my love, is a miracle.

You.

We.

All.

Have.

ONE.

Precious.

Life.

Shall we cherish it?

Shall we love ourselves?

Shall we love our neighbour?

Shall we be the reason someone believes in the goodness of people?

Oui. oui. Si. absolument. Kylla. Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Let us cherish and nourish and grow and fall and rise together.

Together.

Now.

Mañana.

And always.

You are my brother.

You are my sister.

And together we can and will be better.

Let us be better.

Let us be kind.

Every single day.

That we have the privilege and blessing of waking.

BE KIND.

Be kind.

To your beautiful self.

And to your beautiful neighbour.

Be kind.
