If You Forgot It All

If you forgot it all

What if today you forgot it all?

What freedom would you feel?

What newness? What depths of experience might you discover?

Everything?

The air, smell it!

A sky so blue, throw your hands into it.

A face, that stranger, is it your one true love?

Embrace him! Kiss her. Don’t just fall in…leap!

Hurl yourself into that love.

Imagine if, today, you forgot it all.

Would old habits become bold adventures?

Might boring be a guise of mystery?

The mundane, an invitation to wonder?

What if, today, you renounced all that you knew?
