relax into being ourselves,
play with our inner child,
paint the walls green and pink,
dig in the dirt,
grow something,

hang "go away" on the door whenever we want,
clean and tidy often... or never,
launch from and return to,
are truly ourselves.

I would like to live a long life.

And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.

as a people, will get to the promised land.
