Imperatives
LIVE frail spirit
live within yourself
live as both clay and sculptor
use your artistry
to mold a masterpiece
SING as a diva sings:
bold, forceful, passionate
Sing the full range of notes
with richness that resonates
throughout the hall
DANCE with grace and strength
dance with joy and confidence
with a partner or alone
dance with the balance of a prima ballerina
SPEAK as a Shakespearean actor
with charismatic stage presence
and stentorian authority
LAUGH as a child laughs
in abandonment and without shame
SMILE as a new mother smiles
when she holds her baby for the first time
LOVE frail spirit
love as your heart needs
love in defiance of expectations
that ignore reality and the beauty of truth
Love as others love you
