you deserve...

You can search throughout 

the entire universe 

for someone 

who is more deserving 

of your love and affection 

than you are yourself, 

and that person 

is not to be found anywhere-

You 

yourself

as much as anybody

in the entire universe

 deserve

your

love

and

 affection

the choice...

...and when you get the choice

to sit it out or

dance

i

hope

you

dance...

the singing...

I celebrate myself, 

and sing myself.

the purpose...

there is in the creator

a deep longing to create -

this is not ego 

in the popular sense - 

but purpose 

in the higher sense -

being loved and loving...

Being
deeply

loved
by someone 

gives you
strength, 

while
loving

someone
deeply 

gives
you
courage.

the greatest gift...

The greatest gift 

that you could ever give 

to another is 

your own happiness, 

for when you are in 

a state of joy, happiness, 

or appreciation, 

you are fully connected

to the Stream of 

pure, positive Source Energy 

that is truly who you are. 

And when you are 

in that state of connection, 

anything or anyone 

that you are holding 

as your object of attention 

benefits from your attention.
