There are no expectations you must meet

There are no expectations you must meet.  Hear me.  None.  This is a new time, it is a new day, it is a new chance.  Take it.  Run with it.  Dance with it.  Celebrate it.  Bring your joy to the table of God and share, share.  Share who you are.  Do not hide.  That is what the past does; it provides the cave.  You were not born to live in a cave.  You stay out here with me in the sunlight and we'll dance. 

Each of you, the path is new.  The ground is soft.  This thing called life, it is all yours.  You created it.  Yes!  So, recreate it in your image, in your loving likeness.  Do not take another's conception of life above your own.  Go forward with strength and purpose and dignity.  Go into life and share that with others who hunger as much as you do for heaven on earth.  You will not find it on earth, but you will find it within.
