when i dare

to be powerful--
to use my strength in the service
of my vision---
then it becomes less and less
important
whether i am afraid.

we are so rich in a wealth of world things-- right? have you seen rainbows? today, as i was walking home in a sudden shower, i was cursing the skies and waving my arms around -- and then the rainbows, everywhere.
