In this world,
there are many things
you can hold on to.

There are many things
that push close together
and many things
that pull far apart.

If you hold on to too many,
they will break you.
If you hold on to too few,
they will not guide you.

That is why you must learn
to let go,
close your eyes,
and follow the ones
your heart shows you.
