It is our habit to look past everything we have
and want more
more

but think about it

you say, “I’m freezing”
but I say you have no risk of death this evening
you say, “I’m starving”
but I say your cabinets and fridge are stocked
you say, “I’m bored”
but I say you have an imagination and shelves of books
you say, “I’m poor”
but I say you have everything you need and a means for more

and if you say, as I have said most of my life,
“nothing matters…what for…too late”
then do whatever you want because you have no need to worry
because nothing matters
because there is why not…because no reason is why not
because if you’re too late to be great,
then you have permission to embrace anything
