praise praise praise

"do you have doubts in life? are you unsure if it is worth the trouble? Look at the sky:that is for you. Look at each person's face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. And the street itself, and the ground under the street, and the ball of fire underneath the ground, all these things are for you. They are as much for you as they are for other people. Remember this when you wake up in the morning and when think you have nothing. Stand up and face the east. Now praise the sky. And praise the light within each person under the sky. It's okay to be unsure. But PRAISE. PRAISE. PRAISE."

quoted by Miranda July in one of her short stories novel, The Shared Patio, No One Belongs Here More Than You. 2001.
