HOW TO BE

stay loose. Learn to watch snails. plant impossible gardens. invite someone dangerous to tea. make little signs that say "yes" and post them all over your house. make friends with freedom and uncertainty. look forward to dreams. cry during movies. swing as high as you can on a swing set, by moonlight. cultivate moods. refuse to be responsible. do it for love. take lots of naps. give money away, do it now. the money will follow. believe in magic. laugh a lot. celebrate each gorgeous moment. take moon baths. have wild imaginings, transformative dreams, and perfect calm. draw on the walls. read every day. giggle with children. listen to old people. open up. dive in. be free. bless yourself. drive away fear. play with everything. entertain your inner child. you are innocent. build a fort with blankets. get wet. hug trees. write love letters
