You Must Go Out
by

Sunday, May 20, 2012
Without regard for death or for previous battles
and their fierce toll, you must go out alone to the badlands.
You must go out alone to the badlands,
as if to meet a band of barbarians, or a thousand moaning tigers
You must go out without armour or scimitar,
without a moment's training in the art of the fight
You must go out without a feeling of impending doom,
as though to be clad in all of vulnerability was to be clothed
in all of courage.
You must go out, you must go out to meet love
in the open, not as a warrior, but as a hopeful child.
You Must Go Out
You Must Go Out

Take care, keep safe, and stay beautiful,

With love and peace,
