Celebrate Everything

By Nathalie Vachon

What if we took everything positively

Missed the bus, no worries, meant to walk today

Dumped, no matter, I will just appreciate myself fiercely

Lines on face, desire lines

Look how they radiate outward, hazel suns reaching, reaching

Gained weight, all will even out, all will ebb, then flow again

No need to frown, see

See it as a rainbow, children holding hands on a hillside

Forming a bridge

A frown can be a bridge, you know

From today to anything

Is this delusional?

I don’t know? But perhaps

There is something to say about embracing the what-is-ness of ourselves

Something to say about putting down the clipboard

Stopping the judging panel

Eat a cookie, feel every crumb

Let it nourish with sweet yellow-brick-road images

Perhaps it’s the guilt that make us fat

Perhaps it’s the worry that decays

And if only we followed fully our desire lines

Then perhaps “is” would take over “was”

And “was” would mean nothing next to “could be”

And everything could

Actually be

Beautiful
