"to the pioneer + peacemaker•to the inspirational human + rebel with a cause•to the creative constructor of all things revolutionary•to the one with vision•the teacher + torch holder•your tenderness + tenacity is seen•you are brave + beautiful + bold•you are why love lives on." put aside the “maybes”•the “one days”•the “only ifs”•let go of the complicated excuses that take away too much energy and mental space to even consider keeping•throw out the untruths and fear of uncertainty•the prerequisites and prejudices•take away the heaping piles of potential failures•the future forecasting that is nothing but falsity•pick up your got-dayum worthiness and run•f-ing run for the hills or the mountains or toward the majestic-ness of your soul•run and let and let regret sit at the feet of the misled, misread rememberings of your past•it was all perfect•you are perfect•and god is waiting for your amen in action." "my dearest, you have been waiting so long for a sign..." Includes 1 of each poem
