Advice (For Jana)

If a rainbow should fall across your face, please don’t brush it aside.

When a ray of sun finds your arm, step full into the light so that we might see you.
Gather together the Shasta daisies and the children—they should always be thus composed.
Wear only green when you feel a little blue.
Close your eyes when you say something important or when you listen.
Speak softly when you first come awake in your bed.
Eat Asian pears for breakfast and lunch.  Feast on anise and red wine at night.
Step lightly through fresh snow.  Dance crunchingly through fallen leaves of mountain ash.
When you reach a path where looking ahead seems nearly the same as looking back, you have reached the place where you are meant to be.
