A Note to Self

Dear Kit,

What is the matter with you?  Confidence is rooted in the inside.  Patience, my heart, for all things come in good time; anticipation makes for a truly fortified beginning.  Be a man and accept the things you cannot change; only then will you readily see the things that can be affected.  The stronger the grip, the quicker the loss, so do not coerce, but, rather, guide.  Be warned that it will truly test patience, but the rewards will be abundant.  True strength comes from within, remember?

Kit, I know that you believe you are strong enough, but you are not.  I don't say this in the hopes of discouraging you, but, rather, to fully encourage you into lighting the passion again, to once more reach for the stars and wrap your fingers around something brighter.  Remember the peace in your heart?  The strength that you felt, reinforced by the passion that burned?  However, the candle does not light itself; rather, you must let the hands of a higher power envelop you.

Kit, I acknowledge your potential, but remember that potential amounts to absolutely nothing unless it is cultivated.  The seed feeds no one, but its fruits allude to the hope of alleviating hunger.  Hope is good, but let it spill into the world as something definite and concrete.

One cannot fight fire with fire; one must flood the flames.  Produce water, Kit.
