Honorable Discharge

Throw away the thoughts that make you sad, they will not exist if you leave them behind, don't think of things that will stop the light from shining brighter. Imagine how long it takes to hollow out a log to make a vase out of bamboo shoots in a corner of a dark cold room, surely not worth the effort of making something looking beautiful from the heart, but the beauty of the effort is worth the beauty that appears within. Food for thought is food for the imagination creator of majestic impossibilities possible little bits of light to shine up a lonely spot hiding away in your heart. In case you stumble down the cliff of memories you should have dismissed many years back, now leave those memories, the cliff is being worn down by the waters of time. It will now be perfect to give everything and every one an honorable discharge on command. (Move on!) Let's always be a winner!
