Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts.
Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me. . .
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.
Shel Silverstein
Journal prompt: Spend at least 20 minutes writing about what can be that isn’t yet.
