slowly and lightly

It's dark because you are trying too hard.
Lightly child, lightly.
Learn to do everything lightly.
yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply
Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.
So throw away your baggage and go forward.
There are quicksands all around you, sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear and self pity and despair.
That's why you must walk so lightly.
lighly my darling
