Waking Up

A bear wakes up

in spring

and gets back to the business

of living out loud

and breathing fresh air

and moving though the days with intention.

 

Maybe a person

in spring

can do the same

and get back to the business

of living

and breathing

and moving through the days with intention.

 

We creatures

are not so different

from one another

if we pay attention

to the things of living

that remind us what being

alive can be like.
