And not bonded by time
You, yourself, so particularly made
Not an inch of you a crime

Take from others what to do
And what not
You, yourself, the ultimate gift
A gem is what you've got

Seek not to follow others
But be yourself, and be endeared by mother
You, yourself, stick to your principles
And become truly indispensable

From square one, seek for acceptance
Rather than to be hip
You, yourself will find true meaning

I took up hopping not to be hip,
people looked at me strange, hopping
down the hall at work, what's he up to they thought.
I don't hop to be hip, I hop to strengthen my hips
So as to ski down hill more smoothly, and so as to
shake things up, in a physical way, which shakes
me up mentally.
It also helps when I ride my bicycle to work, keeps me more balanced so I can avoid getting hit by cars.

fine lines are imaginary's , the visual arts, the kinetic arts, the zen, the tone of voices, the facial expressions
the love we exude if we're lucky

i don't take for granted that there are some really beautiful people all around me, but I am human,
that much I know.

Lovely truth you express here Bey, the balance
some people might find if they hop once in a while, or at least try it.

Peace!

If someone gives you a gem; polish it!
Make your life shine. Be the light.
