Dare

Never lose perspective
on your ignorance.
Never settle for what
you think you understand.

Never confine yourself
to those whose thoughts
mirror yours, or even to those
who've travelled deeper
into the jungle of your choosing.

Never accept comfort
exclusively over affliction.
Dare to be challenged
by experiences from afar.

Dare to examine the framework
of the house you were born in.
Dare to change.
Dare to grow.

Dare to sit in silence before the wind.
Dare to be held by the darkness
long after the sun has set.
Dare to wait for a new dawn.
