Outrunning the storm from Penn State
Let us be resolved.
Let us be resolved to live our lives truly.
Let us be resolved to care fully.
Let us be resolved to love freely.
Let us be resolved to see clearly.
Let us be resolved to …
Open ourselves, our hearts and minds and spirits, to one another.
Substitute creation for destruction.
Discover the internal, rather than revere the exterior.
Forgive and forget.
Take a long-avoided risk.
Take a walk instead of taking offense.
Read a random book and listen to unfamiliar music.
Step toward something that brings happiness.
Stay up all night exploring.
Dance and sing, even if we like the way we do neither.
Let go of a portion of fear.
Listen and breathe.
Witness and pass along truth.
Be free.
Be kind,
Be strong.
Be happy.
Be resolved.

This is SUCH a great poem . . . be resolved - action rather than noun.
I keep reading and re-reading. Thank you!
Cherie
Nicely written.
Me, I'm not too heavily into that "forgive and forget" part, without some qualifications.
But I understand the gist.
Good sentiments.

Thanks, and Greetings from Eastern America!
Inspiring resolutions, Fe. May we all out-run the storm!
And may we run for each other when one of us grows tired!
To 2009 and all the hope it brings...
San! I have missed you!
I love your concept of running for each other when one grows tired. Would we all ...
2009 and the rise of inner strength.
