We could drive fast, so fast that wind would stuff our ears. We could turn the music up, so loud that we forget the uncertainty of living but not loving how we do it. We could gaze up at the stars and let our hair fly free. We could breathe in the salt of the sea and ride on the waves with bare feet. We could start living while we’re still young , before life flings itself on our shoulders.
We could go somewhere, live young and live free.

Don’t aim for pretty
Aim for sharp
For a head held high
Not heard by ferocityÂ
but like the hum of a harp
Don’t aim to be perfect

Let the world catch up with you.
In your own ingenuity
you have to put trust
For those we rememberÂ
do not take run over paths,
They walk over oceans
and leave behind comet dust.

Years ago, I had the privilege of traveling to South Africa.

How can a person hate others
when he never learnt to love himself
Can a person laugh at a homeless man
when he doesn’t have a home in his house?
How can I calm you down,
clear whatever you doubt of me,
when I never learnt to quieten this heart.

Welcome to loud music and wavy hair, to dances and dresses, to live a little louder, to laugh a little more, to the nodding of the trees and the splashes of rain. Say hello to breezes and cozy sleep, to hard work that is fun, to cringe – worthy movies that make you chortle, to long phone calls and passing notes in class. Welcome to  a midsummer mind, where we live and love while summer holds our souls.
