all your anger

all your sadness about the unfairness of life

all of your fears about the future

and release yourself from it all

Watch it slip into the past like a boat filled with useless baggage,

baggage that serves no purpose in your life

watch as it floats downstream until it is gone from your sight

it is no longer tethered to you

Today you are free to fill a new boat with whatever you choose

so bring new baggage along for a happy life

a life that reflects who you are right now

The day for liberation is always today

float away in this new boat and enjoy the trip
