be-having

always state positively
negations are ignored

i’d say
bee-have
rather than
don’t do this or that

to say
don’t misbehave
is to obscure
the power of the positive

behave
practice patience
play nice
take care of self
play fair
love others as self

it’s that fucking easy, folks

always state positively
negations are ignored

say, love me
& i love you
say, i am help
& help me

say, here’s solution
here’s work
here’s time
here’s commitment
here’s love
here

be

behave

to behave
is to know
what to do
moment to moment
life as obstacle course

obstacles as growth inducers
universe provided
oh so generously

pay attention
this one counts

always state positively
negations are ignored
