I Can

It’s not that I feel any more important today than I did yesterday.  It’s not that I feel like my purpose for existing is any more clear to me.  It’s not that I have figured out any of life’s great mysteries.

The difference is in believing that I can.  I just can.  Period.

It’s not delusional.  It’s not overly optimistic.  It’s not idealistic.  What it is…well, is true.

I can.

I can because it’s not hard.  I can because there is no reason not to.  I can because there are courses of action to which I am called, and if I am called then I am meant to.  I can because there is no reason to fear.

I can because maybe nobody else will, and, my friends, that would be a tragic shame.

I can.

Can you?  

I sure hope that you do.
