Stop all this hand-wringing.
Be brave.
Loosen every buckle and strap.
This is how the world is saved.
Come out in the meadow and crush
a ripe raspberry on your tongue.
Let the new earth fatten and swell
around the seed of this moment.
Can you sweeten your lips with love
before you savor the berry?
Quench your heart with gratitude
for something so luscious and small?
The radical act is being present.
The revolution is to breathe.
Painting by Persian artist Mahmoud Farshchian
