He did it….
—
Down the red carpet, before crying parents….
He walked….
He graduated….
He made it past one more life bump, one more hill, he climbed -again.
He did it. He did it again ….
Bless the little souls who rise, run further and then do it -again.

Continuing on this thread of thought.
These young people must gain a confidence and enough acceptance to know that they must keep doing it, again and again. Going through daily routines, stretching, learning, falling …. Then getting up & striking the day that rises before them yet again.
I give boatloads, enormous shipments of praise, admiration and tremendous credit to this little man who challenges every single new day with what he needs.
What he needs each to navigate social spaces, to go forward.
Go forward, my Bear man.
Inhale the oxygen that is presented and proceed. I believe in you, my Bear man, I believe in you.
