BOOKS

All the days,
Splayed out behind and stretching ahead,
Like ribbon.

So what will you do?
Will you pull,
And tear, 
And fray the ribbon with worrying fingers,

Desperately scrabbling to pull back your past
Or grasp your future,
Safe and complete in your hands?

Or will you
Stand calmly
On the ribbon in front of you now,

Like a tightrope walker,
A gymnast on the highest, most important balance beam of all,
And
Thrive?

What do you think? Will you choose to thrive today?  Let us know in the comment section below!
