The rush of acceptance, 

the dawning of renewed love,

oh, don't you see how beautiful you are,

exactly as you are?

Who cares if the world calls you crazy,

after all, we all know the world is crazy!

My sister called me up the other day, her voice filled with soft excitement,

"I've got some new mantras... 'no fear, wrapped in love'...I'm not pushing away anymore, I'm seeing things as expansive, not limited, no matter how they appear on the surface....," she explained.

Yes, yes, I agreed.

The rush of acceptance,

the dawning of renewed love.

Don't you see how beautiful

you are,

exactly as you are?
