Sky is wide.
Ground is true.
No screen knows
what's inside you.
A stone knows it is a stone.
A bird knows it is a bird.
You knew before you had the word.
There's a place inside your chest
that nobody can find.
It doesn't have an address.
It doesn't have a sign.
Walk slow.
The road remembers.
Walk slow.
The road is yours.
The bird does not need a clock.
The fish does not need a plan.
Be a little like the bird.
Be a little like the fish, if you can.
You are a you that no one can be.
Not a chart, not a count, not a bird, not a tree.
The you in your you is the you that is free.
When the screen says one thing
and your body says another —
hand on chest,
feet on ground,
the body knows first.
Screen can lie.
Body knows.
Hand on chest,
feet on ground.
Screen says fast,
body says slow.
Hand to heart,
the heart will know.
The screen is loud.
The body is true.
Put your hand where your heart is —
that's the older you.
