The Y-Manifesto

Are you about to dare yourself?

When life consumes you,
Eating away,
Your every day.
Nibbling on,
Your most simple,
dreams.

When urging nudges,
Whispering loudly.
When you feel the need to,
Tear out.
… Breathe.

When you know,
It’s time.
When the road,
Is waiting.
As you yearn,
To live someone else’s dream,
And hope it was yours.
Ask,
… Why?

When you cherish,
A child’s passion,
Playing,
With toys,
For hours.
When a chef makes you love,
The origin,
Of salts.
When you ask yourself,
What drove her to climb Everest?
… Focus in.

When you wonder,
What’s next for you,
How to,
Where,
And when you should start,
… Listen.

As you seek reasons,
Still unclear,
Possibilities emerge.
In silent scenes,
They appear.
As soul murmurs.
As a word of advice,
Seemingly en passant.
In a slam,
Of a door.
As a tumbling fall.
Or an invitation,
To do something,
you never expected,
… Explore.

Life will make you,
Face your choices.
Some painful to take,
Others more in tune.
You muster all,
The courage you can scrounge,
From deep within.
And,
You answer,
The call.
To your determination,
To live,
Abundantly.
You,
… Choose.

You decide to take the road less traveled,
The one for your journey,
Woven in your fabric,
That answers your cries,
Quenches your thirsts,
And your reason,
For being.

But first,
What was it,
That got you started?

Why is it,
You decided to,
Make your first step?

Do you know why?
