Yes

It all comes down to this she said

Writing, getting along, life, winning—

Losing even— when you think about

The big picture or the smallest

Things—the really important word

Or maybe it’s not the word so

Much as an attitude—the really

Essential ingredient you need

Is an open-ness to everything and

A willingness that allows you

To experience anything and every-

thing that comes your way, even

If just for a moment, or a little bit

Of time – just drink it in, say yes

To it all, and you will be the richer

For it, she said, say yes.
