To die for

Short time obvious when you see remember stay out of your safe places for awhile unafraid willing ready to die if necessary for the sweet pleasure of knowing accepting all of the beauty all of it really and the truth that it is not forever seeing it end and understanding

Short time here do your work well see others and encourage them

Be on their side be willing to help them learn what you have learned what you know how to do tasks you know best and love most

If you know the others around you all of them all of existence really

and open your heart you will be a sweet person
