Today is about greatness, not about the name. The one that never fades and does not depend on approval of others. The one that doesn’t grow into a label when someone famous endorsed it. The one that stands alone, without regard for anyone’s views…or dissagreements for that matter. The wow.
I humbly bow in front of greatness. And take it all in. Let it wrap around me like a second skin. Tight. It doesn’t suffocate my creativity, it doesn’t strain my vitality, it doesn’t kill my soul. It straightens my backbone, opens my eyes, puts a spring in my step, and fills my heart with joy.
To you who are hurt, and scared, and broken, I wish I could show you this greatness, so you can breathe a little hope. In its light you’d understand. It would free you and heal your hurt. But then, again, you can see it for yourself, even if a little bit different from the way I do, if only you let your eyes see. And that, nobody can make you choose…
