Now I beseech you,
\nif you are starting your day,
\nforgive yourself,
\nlook in the mirror
\nand do not curse age,
\nor if young,
\nthe petals in your cheeks.<\/p>\n
Begin slowly
\nwithout a care.
\nSit on the edge of your bed
\nand give your dreams
\nto the room.
\nLet them be shadows
\nmelting in light,
\nand tell your heart,
\nI have this day
\ngiven to me from rest,
\nopen as a sky.<\/p>\n
I do not have to put
\nfear in it,
\nor sorrow,
\nor dwell on my pain.
\nSay a prayer to yourself,
\nI will not waste it,
\nit is a cup begging for wine,
\nthe taste of a kiss,
\nthe touch of my gentleness.
\nIt is open
\nto wherever I go.<\/p>\n
I can choose what I wish
\nfrom the secrets of my soul,
\nfor everything worth having
\nis free to my eyes,
\nmy touch,
\nthe breath of my lungs.<\/p>\n
I can choose to be
\nwhatever I want,
\nlover or friend,
\nwarrior of causes,
\na maker or giver,
\na child with games,
\nnothing is denied,
\npeace or despair,
\nsay whatever it is and it shall be,
\nthat is the faith of the day,
\ndelivered in hope,
\na gift to yourself,
\nif you wish to accept it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
