I love this quote by Shel Silverstein; it’s been on my mind lately…
“Listen to the Mustn’ts, child, listen to the Don’ts.
Listen to the Shouldn’ts, the Impossibles, the Won’ts.
Listen to the Never Haves, then listen close to me.
Anything can happen, child, Anything can be.”
And while researching to make sure I had it right, I found another one of his poems that’s new to me, yet really resonates…
“Underneath my outside face
There’s a face that none can see.
A little less smiley,
A little less sure,
But a whole lot more like me.”
I guess the trick is to grow more comfortable with sharing that “underneath” face; I’m pretty sure we’ve all got one. 🙂
