" I warn her not to chase money—
chase a dream, like underwater photography
or hiking,
build your own boat and sail around the world,
serve and protect the earth,
that’s the kind of stuff brilliant
minds pursue,
not moneyed soul-shrinking
status sh**—
integrate your heart and soul
into your walk, talk, hands and
thrust your voice up to the sky
as you sing your life out
pure, free, hard and strong
against any wind. "
