For every won of us<\/span>
\nEach day<\/span>
\nIs a work of heart<\/span>
\nCanvassing inexhaustible possibilities<\/span>
\nOf epic themes<\/span>
\nMomentary epiphanies<\/span>
\nAnd daily grooves<\/span>
\nImploring colors<\/span>
\nExploring textures<\/span>
\nMating with perfect light<\/span>
\nNot mirrorly framed<\/span>
\nBuy the ornate<\/span>
\nOr threw making a scene<\/span>
\nShooting blanks with one’s chimera<\/span>
\nTaking residents<\/span>
\nIn a mythical selfless portrait<\/span>
\nBut climbing stares<\/span>
\nCrossing a-ghastly gape<\/span>
\nEnduring risky convictions<\/span>
\nChopping epilogues<\/span>
\nAslumber jack knows<\/span>
\nWould<\/span>
\nLike the back of his hand<\/span>
\nIf only<\/span>
\nHow to brandish a climax<\/span>
\nWhile never pandering exhibitionists<\/span>
\nAnd never finishing<\/span>
\nAs a museum<\/span>
\nOf beginnings unknown<\/span>
\nEndings all too familiar<\/span>
\nAnd what work<\/span>
\nGoest unseen<\/span>
\nThe ultimate intra-mural<\/span>
\nBeing more than animated<\/span>
\nFor an others viewing<\/span>
\nAnd awe the rest<\/span>
\nFor if the day is seized <\/span>
\nEven gallery slaves<\/span>
\nCan Marvel\u00ae<\/span>
\nAt what is still life<\/span><\/p>\n

This poem is intended to help you remember that your life is a work of art, a work of heart.\u00a0 Hopefully, the mining of you heart’s treasures is a lifelong and joy-filled adventure.\u00a0 I hope that you have the courage to dream, partly for the simple joy of it, but reserving a few special dreams to make come alive for yourself and others.\u00a0 May you take risks in service of your dreams.\u00a0 May you focus less on how others judge and misjudge your most treasured dreams.\u00a0 May you know what makes you alive, and may you know this more deeply than anything else in the world.\u00a0 May you live into this knowledge wholeheartedly.\u00a0 If you should fear that your dreams and passions might not fit into what the world needs, rest assured that what the world need is for people to come alive!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
