'Listen to me!' Vincent shouted so loudly I jumped. 'It's true, you don't know what lies behind those windows, but that's your task - to discover what is there and take only the best, and then fashion what you have taken into something wonderful,' he continued more calmly. 'You'll be standing in the light you love most, that of the moon, and you must let it guide you forward. Be brave; embrace the adventure of the new and unknown. You cannot allow yourself to cower in the corner of a dark room cluttered with unhappiness and shrink away to nothing. And when you have found what you need and fashioned the something wonderful, you must take it up to the rooftop and show it to the world.' I must have looked doubtful, for he again took my face in his hands, a small smile lightening his serious demeanor. And never forget, he said, almost mesmerizing me with his gaze, YOU are wonderful in and of yourself. Reach out. Say yes. The answer to the future is always yes. Say it. Say it every day, many times a day. Say it now,' Vincent urged. I opened my mouth but no sound emerged. 'Again,' he insisted gently. 'Yes,' I almost whispered. 'Louder,' Vincent said. 'Like the tiger you say you are.' 'Yes!' I shouted. 'Goddammit, YES! and laughed I couldnt help it. 'Good!' he exclaimed. 'I will hold you to it, and trust me, I will know if you backslide. Now,' he said as he took my arm and pointed to the corner where a small caf was still brightly lit, 'let us go and have a coffee. I need one, and you look like you do too.' ~ excerpt, copyright 2014 RC deWinter
