If It Is Not Too Dark

A wonderful contribution from a special friend...

Go for a walk, if it is not too dark.
Get some fresh air, try to smile.
Say something kind
To a safe-looking stranger, if one happens by.


Always exercise your heart's knowing.

You might as well attempt something real
Along this path:


Take your spouse or lover into your arms
The way you did when you first met.
Let tenderness pour from your eyes
The way the Sun gazes warmly on the earth.


Play a game with some children.
Extend yourself to a friend.
Sing a few ribald songs to your pets and plants -
Why not let them get drunk and wild!


Let's toast
Every rung we've climbed on Evolution's ladder.
Whisper, "I love you! I love you!"
To the whole mad world.


Let's stop reading about God -
We will never understand Him.


Jump to your feet, wave your fists,
Threaten and warn the whole Universe


That your heart can no longer live
Without real love!

"A schizophrenic out for a walk is a better model than a neurotic lying on the analyst's couch. A breath of fresh air, a relationship with the outside world."
