"It is okay to simply be. Consider the bird who sings simply because she has a song."

Not exactly on point, but I am reminded of a poem by W.B. Yeats:

Paudeen

"INDIGNANT at the fumbling wits, the obscure spite
Of our old Paudeen in his shop, I stumbled blind
Among the stones and thorn trees, under morning light;
Until a curlew cried and in the luminous wind
A curlew answered; and suddenly thereupon I thought
That on the lonely height where all are in God’s eye,
There cannot be, confusion of our sound forgot,
A single soul that lacks a sweet crystaline cry."

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."
