Live frugally on surprise. <br />Alice Walker <br /> <br />Yes, live with surprise, <br />make it an everyday companion <br />you can't be without. <br /> <br />Call it a miracle if you are faithful. <br />Call it chance if you are bold. <br />But make it always welcome. <br /> <br />Never hesitate to embrace surprise. <br />Your arms can easily enfold it: <br />it never resists your grasp. <br /> <br />Surprise is so weightless <br />you can carry it without fatigue <br />deep into the night. <br /> <br />And as day darkens into rest, let it <br />keep watch over your sleep. <br />It will summon the softest dreams <br /> <br />in the planetary drift of night, <br />and never betray your waking <br />until the least expected dream is true.<br /><br />Daniel Brick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/drift-14/
