what if?
Let’s remake the world with words.
Not frivolously, nor
To hide from what we fear,
But with a purpose.
Let’s,
As Wordsworth said, remove
“The dust of custom” so things
Shine again, each object arrayed
In its robe of original light.
And then we’ll see the world
As if for the first time.
As once we gazed at the beloved
Who was gazing at us.

Untitled [“Let’s remake the world with words”] by Gregory Orr
what if you tried something new?
what if you just threw away the rule book and trusted your gut?
what if you allowed someone in to help you, even for a minute?
what if you stopped defending your territory and absorbed some love?
what if you decided to let unexpeted things be the right timing?
what if you created a world where everybody belonged?
what if it’s really just about finding beauty and allowing beauty to find us?
what if you saw that no one is more valuable than another?
what if you knew, for sure, you are royal, and so am I?
what if you treated everyone you encounter with that assumption?
what if, every single time you wanted to, you made the phone call?
what if, every time you didn’t want to, you didn’t?
what if you began doing all the things you are dreaming of today?
what if these things simple things are all that truly matters?
what if the future of the world hangs on this iridescent string wrapped loosely around your wrist?
what if you leave for the next great adventure tomorrow, on this earth, or beyond?
what if you ask yourself these things every morning,
out in that field beyond right and wrong?
