\"Exuberant<\/a>IN PRAISE OF THE EXUBERANT <\/span><\/p>\n

And as you stand there<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunshining all over our Rain Parade<\/span><\/p>\n

Voice cheering<\/span><\/p>\n

Toes tapping<\/span><\/p>\n

Eyes dancing<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us now praise you.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

You, the mango-coconut in our vanilla world.<\/span><\/p>\n

You, the red balloon in our blue sky.<\/span><\/p>\n

You, the hooray-for-your-new-job (or hooray-for-your-engagement or hooray-for-your-wedding or hooray-for-your-new-baby or hooray-for-your-divorce) party-throwing friend.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Your door is always open<\/span><\/p>\n

And don’t think we don’t take advantage of it.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Your heart is always open<\/span><\/p>\n

And don’t think we don’t take advantage of it.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

You have a particular kind of bravery:<\/span><\/p>\n

The not-being-afraid-of-feelings kind of brave<\/span><\/p>\n

The stand-up-and-be-counted kind of brave<\/span><\/p>\n

The jump-off-the-high-dive (again) (naked) kind of brave.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

We always know when you’re in the audience, because<\/span><\/p>\n

We recognize your laugh.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

And as you sit us down and give us your full-beam attention and as you ask us for every detail of our latest adventure (how do you always lead us to the conclusion that our life is an adventure?) and as we, flattered by your unwavering, bright-eyed gaze, end up going on and on and on and on, we have to mentally waft away the annoying, fluttering thought,<\/span><\/p>\n

“Yes, but: Who takes care of you?”<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Because we know that underneath the nonstop carnival there is a lot of<\/span><\/p>\n

Damn hard work and that some of<\/span><\/p>\n

Your sparkle<\/span><\/p>\n

Is the glitter from the parts that got<\/span><\/p>\n

Broken.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve seen you fall and get right back up and assumed that it must not have been that much of a<\/span><\/p>\n

Tumble but the truth is that
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

You alone have the<\/span><\/p>\n

Strength to Rise.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

And so it is from you we learn that while we may not always<\/span><\/p>\n

Feel happy<\/span><\/p>\n

We can always feel<\/span><\/p>\n

Joy.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

And as you Gush and Exclaim and Twist and Shout and Wiggle with pleasure and Yelp and Hoot and Swear out loud and Burst into tears and Rush in and Hug and Holler across the room in a way that some might think of as<\/span><\/p>\n

Embarrassing, we<\/span><\/p>\n

Bask in your fearless conviction that<\/span><\/p>\n

No human experience is unlovable.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for that.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

So let’s break out the<\/span><\/p>\n

Sequins and the feather boas and
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Have dessert first and
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Grin at strangers and<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s do the Hokey-Pokey and really<\/span><\/p>\n

Put our Whole Self in
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

And order one more bottle because it’s so nice to all be together<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the Abundant Sun.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
