Not driving a car made you less
Like the rest; I can attest this is true.
And living your life with these limits,
Led to doors you preferred not to choose.
But the unwanted path led to people
You won’t have otherwise known.
And things in your life you neglected before
Are thing that have flourished and grown.
Don’t look at this thing as a limit,
Though it will be hard for a while,
Just see it as something that sets you apart,
And not as a staggering snarl.
Often the that things that confine you
Aren’t what hurt you; they simply define.
Like an artist entangled by choices
Is set free by some limiting lines.

To the Young One Worried About Appearances
There’s not a particular look
You should chase.
Not one certain body,
Or one certain face.
As you age and you grow
You’ll soon start to see—
Our appeal comes from
Uniqueness, variety.
The thing you should ponder
More deeply, is health.
What you’re pouring inside
Is your long-term wealth.
Feed yourself real food,
Raw milk, butter, and cheese.
Clean, simple ingredients;
That’s what you need.
Raise vegetables, mill flour,
Make sourdough bread,
Eat eggs, and I’m certain
You’ll then get ahead.
Your body will be beautiful
Your mind will grow strong.
As it turns out, it’s health
You craved all along.
