Let us dare to be too much, over the top, 

gushing with amazement as the sun 

peeks through the dark—


God, it's beautiful!


Let us not apologize for exclamation marks or

pausing in the middle of a moment 

to stare at the willow tree swaying


to the rhythm of today’s winter wind, to marvel 

at the dew drops hanging from the tips 

of branches.


Let us stare at these aging hands 

with gratitude for how much they've carried—babies

bowls of homemade soup, broken and beautiful things,


and things that were never ours to carry—

how far the've traveled, how hard

they've worked and loved and dropped and held.


Let us bow to the littered paths that always

lead to right here. Here.

It's my favorite word. The only word

we ever need, really.
