I HOPE YOU STILL FEEL small WHEN YOU STAND BESIDE THE OCEAN

I HOPE YOU STILL FEEL small WHEN YOU STAND BESIDE THE OCEAN

 

If you're ever lying on a beach with 50 billion grains of sand beneath you,
700 thousand beach waves before you,
60 million stars stretched out above you and you're still not at all impressed.
I want you to think this: The light you see reflecting from the stars is over one million years old.
WOW!!!
But then,just before you start to feel like a mere blip in the gigantic scheme of things,please remember this:Yes you are small,but you're also irreplaceable,invaluable and miraculous.

THOSE STARS DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ON YOU!!!!

YOU GET YOUR FILL TO EAT BUT ALWAYS KEEP THAT HUNGER

Hunger is wanting to see more.to feel more,to touch more to crave,desire,search out,find.hold more and sometimes hunger hurts more.But you go on,go west,young man,young woman,plow the land.Plant the seeds,grow the food for the whole wide world.
MAY YOU NEVER TAKE ONE SINGLE BREATH FOR GRANTED
So breath out and breath in (and soak it all up).
GOD FORBID LOVE EVER LEAVE YOU EMPTY HANDED.
But if it does,may it leave you patient and stronger,willing and wiser,tender and tougher.

THIS IS THE TRUTH

THIS IS FROM ME TO YOU.
THIS IS THE TRUTH.

How many times have my wishes,dreams and prayers for you hidden beneath my breath?
How many times have i looked at you,heart in troat,hands in my pockets,a smile on my face just wanting to say:
I HOPE YOU NEVER LOSE YOUR SENSE OF WONDER.

WHAT IS HOPE?
To want? To desire? To expect that what's envisioned may indeed happen? YES,to all of the above.
Is hope that gut feeling that it's worth holding out and hanging on for just a little longer? ABSOLUTELY.
Is hope the core of the human condition? CERTAINLY.
Can you have hope without faith and humility and wonder? THAT'S TOUGH.
Just the thought that there's something bigger,something truer,something totally surprising out there waiting for us is priceless.
What would you be without hope growing deep in your bones,thriving in every piece of you? NOTHING.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HOPE? EVERYTHING.
Hope takes never ceasing to be amazed.Wearing your sould on your sleeve...Holding your breath,waiting to hear I LOVE YOU TOO...Believing that tomorrow could be better than today,that you'll get a second chance,that you'll make a difference...that you matter.

I HOPE YOU DANCE

I HOPE YOU DANCE

I hope you dance...
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,you get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger.
May you never take one single breath for granted.
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed.
I hope you still feel small,when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes,I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...
I HOPE YOU DANCE.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance.
Never settle for the path of least resistance.
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking and loving might be a mistake but it's worth making.
Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter.
When you come close to selling out,reconsider...give the heavens above more than just a glance and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...
I HOPE YOU DANCE.
Time is awheel in constant motion,always rolling us along...
Tell me who wants to look back to their years and wonder where those years have gone?
Have faith...
I HOPE YOU DANCE
