The book, Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak both fascinated and frightened me as a child.  Looking back upon the story as an adult, I am even more so struck by young Max’s courage to stare down and shout at the Wild Things, “Be Still!” 

I am reminded that there continue to be many things out there that roar at us, no matter what our age. 

Sometimes we have the words to face those Wild Things. And sometimes, we have to steadfastly seek them. 

Either way, whichever might be true for you . . . I hope you always have someone who loves you best of all.
