Poem: Worthy Aspirations



 Be…..

As open as the Sierra’s

As quick to act on your resolutions as the loon

As eager in life as a bee is to make honey

As silly as the Franklin who unknowingly laughs out load often

As witty as comedian on stage

As flexible in life as a yogi in training

As collaborative as a flock of geese flying in unison

As imaginative as a child at play

As serious as a wild cat when on the prowl

As humble as Mother Nature who exuberates beauty but never forces you to look

As light as a feather that floats from one setting to the next whenever the wind blows

As confident as your mentor in their field of brilliance

As playful as the dolphins are with every moment of their life

As intuitive as a baby turtle who doesn’t question where to go after hatching, but instead rushes with immediacy towards the blue horizon.

As compassionate towards others as an eager scientist is to discover where, why and how something came to be, and eagerly conducts experiments until an explanation is found that opens the door for a solution amongst conflicting components.

As loving as a grandmother who see’s her new grandchild for the first time and tears of joy begin to fall steadily down her face

As unyielding in your goals and your aspirations as an oak tree that stands firm and grows stronger over the years.

And this last one I say in all seriousness; Keep your head in the clouds while always building a firm foundation below. 

~Ashley
