The Way the Soul Enters Heaven

Be silly.
Loosen them up.
Make them feel light.
Show them that light.
Be easy.
Do nothing predictable.
Be fun.
(Easier said than done.)
Do it, anyway.
THEY need HELP.

Unload praise.
Heaps of legitimate love.
It gets easier once you start.
The wheel will turn itself.

It's you.
You have to decide to be the starting muscle.
You are outside of human frailty.
You are their redeemer.

It's the only way it works.
Heaven is already upon us.
Do the good work you are meant to do.

Stop complaining.
There's pancakes, sandwiches, and doughnuts.
You'll be fine.

I like your sense of humor. We all do need to lighten up a bit.
