HAND WRITING YOUR DREAM

Hand Writing Your Dream - You are More than what the world tells you

inspired by “Wouldn't take Nothing for My Journey Now” – by Maya Angelou

Oh my brothers, and Oh my sisters, how hard it is to find our way,
when everything on the menu does not include what we really need,
when we confuse what we really need with what we think we want,
and it is so hard to know what it is that winds our clock,

when we look with our eyes and forget to look with our hearts,
and we let the fear take hold and let the world set our agenda,
and we forget the agenda of the world often leaves out the real things,
and the real things are not always stated and not on the menu,

then your eyes are no good for seeing what our hearts need,
and you have to look deep inside to know what winds your clock,
what keeps your spirit free, your heart at peace, your soul intact,
and ready to do the bidding of your clear mind,

so you must hand-write a new menu, with the choices that matter to you,
and you are not bound by the world's agenda, but only by what is real for you,
you have set yourself free and now you know there is a difference,
between what we need and what we want, and what is on the world's menu,

there is a difference between letting fear be the driver
or letting your own soul be the driver and seeing with your heart
how you want the world to be, that you make the choice when you decide
to live your dream and refuse to accept that others have any right to interfere,

or try to diminish what you can imagine with your fearless heart, 

with your clear mind,
with all your many abilities engaged in living your dream,

 and keeping it real and fresh,
living on the crest of your own personal tsunami, 

your desire to live and to be free,
and your desire to create your world 

and to create the menu that has the choices you have chosen,

see yourself as part of the Big Parade, your life is precious and to be valued,
you have a duty to those who came before you,

 those who helped cut a path through the fear;
they chose hope over fear so that you can live in the light,

knowing freedom lives in our spirits and our hearts,
when we allow ourselves to pay back the gift we have been given.
