Transcription

Sometimes we find ourselves in something of a dark wood, stranded in a desert, lost at sea, With pockets full of confounding metaphors, scraps of advice that, though well-meaning, do nothing to show us the light, the way, the thing that's right to do,. You probably have the little crumpled note that says the answer "is inside!!.. And that's all well and good, but you're out here trying to survive. I don't want to weigh you down any further than I need to, so I'll give you this and you can be on your way, and hopefully, the right way... Know that your sacrifices are seen in heaven (wherever, whatever that means to yo -ul, the seeds you planted yesterday are even now already in bloom, I give you all the energy that I can stuff into this page—use it wisely, and never give it away where it's not appreciated. Lastly, I point to love—lead with it and go, my friend, that way!
