Ovation<\/strong><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need
\nanything.<\/p>\n

Nothing.<\/p>\n

You are Everything
\nYou need
\nto Be.<\/p>\n

You have been
\nsince before
\nthere was a
\nBefore,<\/p>\n

and You will Be
\nlong after
\nThe Hereafter.<\/p>\n

Yet,
\nevery single day,
\nnew Lists of
\nWhat You Need
\nshow up,
\nuninvited,<\/p>\n

along with
\nwarnings
\nabout failure to<\/p>\n

Do Be Do Be Do.<\/p>\n

Your Question
\nshould really be –
\nsince You
\nasked to Play
\nthis Game
\nexactly as You –<\/p>\n

did You arrive here
\nin need of
\nrepair,
\ndamaged in delivery,<\/p>\n

or is this the
\nRole of a
\nLifetime,
\nfrom curtain
\nto curtain?<\/p>\n

Every act a
\ncharacter study
\nin the alchemy
\nof compassion,<\/p>\n

an invitation to
\ntransform
\nscene and prop
\nand dialogue<\/p>\n

into grace
\nthat belies
\nthe need
\nfor anything<\/p>\n

but amazement
\nat the
\nstanding ovation
\nof Love.<\/p>\n
