may you kiss/the wind then turn from it/certain that it will/love your back ...
Those lines are from Lucille Clifton's poem, "Blessing the Boats." I always loved the poem because of the emotion it stirred in me, the feeling that I was young and free and could go where the wind wanted to take me. While I don't feel as carefree as I did when I was 18, or even 20, I'm still pretty young with some good opportunities ahead. I am ready to take some chances and for once, live the way I always wanted to.
