#13: Play Now!

Life is always giving chances.

It's alive, asking me to play along.

But the shadows of mental chatter keep me in

Blanketed in the fear of "God knows what's around."

When courage strikes, I push myself out.

I take the chance to act in the now.

The rush of excitement and fear come together

Showing the possibility of everything to come about.

Having established my commitment fully

I'm now vetted into the team.

It's more like a friends and family affair

Where I'm taken care of first by everyone around.

I see life's motherly charm and care.

Serving one moment of wonder after the other.

Why was I holding myself back this much?

Was it really that scary or was my mind crazy too much?

I go back to those deep, intense moments

And let them sink even further.

The wonder of life and infinite possibility is all I seek.

It doesn't matter if it's real or my imagination's funniest play!
