When your vast love meets the harsh world, you've got to be smart.

Harshness is addicted to itself and will say, "Do you want to be vicious in way A, way B, or way C?"

You don't have to make the choice offered. The particular way you are smart is designed to make it possible to get some of your love over under around and through the harshness.

You've got to really listen to yourself to hear your smartness that harshness might say is dumb, that harshness might say is impossible. Harshness, the harshness addict, has limited knowledge, like all addicts, and doesn't see the whole world, but only itself.

You have smarts as vast as your vast love, and to find them you've go to be smart, just like you are.
