SAY YES TO YOURSELF - (B.K.'s poem about Andreas, Christmas 1994)

say yes to yourself

            dream your dreams

                        lay in the sunshine

            play with doggies

                        read your book

accept yourself

            get into the game

join it

            leave it

                        let your fantasy fly

                                   discover the secrets

go for the unusual

            swim against the main-stream

let go

            gaze

don’t follow others’ views

            be strong

                        be tender

                                   be fit

stay friendly

keep your faith

            yield to fascination

don’t ever get uninvolved

            be emotional

                        be enthusiastic

present the others with your knowledge

present the others with your good thoughts

don’t ever get settled

            keep your fire

SAY YES TO YOURSELF
