No soap.
No shampoo.
There is no bathroom for number one or two.
No colony.
Without comb.
Without the comfort of home.
No washing machine.
No dryer.
Not doing laundry when I want to.
No keys.
No car.
No ice cream bar.
No air conditioning.
No heat.
Just me, my backpack and my two feet.
Yes sunset.
Yes dawn.
Yes, infinite skies.
Yes birds.
Yes bees.
Yes flowers.
Yes trees.
Yes, dirt on my hands.
Yes, dirt on my feet.
Yes, land upon my land, now I am complete.
Yes miles.
Yes distance.
Yes adventure.
Yes identity.
Yes, strangers.
Yes friends.
Yes family.
Yes love. Yes love.
Yes heat.
Yes cold.
Yes, created stories.
Yes, stories told.
Yes new.
Yes old man.
Yes being daring.
I’m happier with the yes: it’s lighter to carry, although letting go of the no can sometimes feel scary.
And to adventurers past, present and future…
the dreamers – I tell you yes
