Lightly child, lightly.

Awake —
What are these quick shots of warmth,
Fractals of forests
That wind through my limbs?

~ Alan Lightman, from Song of Two Worlds

Lightly child, lightly.

You have to be like the sun my dear.
Bright, alive, a dance in your step,
your smile reaching every corner, so radiant.
Yes you’ve got to make them wince a little bit.

As brightness, into brightness

You can learn only from
moving forward at the rate
you are moved,
as brightness, into brightness
