Jump in the boat and go.
Don't hesitate. Don't calculate every detail. Don't wait until the moment is perfect - you will lose the moment.
The sailboat is already moving. The sun is already setting. The city is already there on the shore waiting for you.
This piece is light, free, slightly daring - the visual equivalent of deciding yes before your brain talks you out of it.
It was made around the same time as I Am Sorry, Prayer. That one turns inward to heal. This one turns outward
to live. You need both.
You are one hundred percent responsible for your own happiness. Not your circumstances, not other people,
not the right moment. You. So go see the places you always said you would. Start toward the goal, even one
step. Choose joy - loudly, unapologetically, now.
Somewhere in the work, written almost invisibly in silver, is a line that says exactly what I mean:
Live the life you want now, and you will piss off a lot of miserable people in the process.
Its counterpart is I Am Sorry, Prayer. One heals you. One sets you free.
