I will not die an un-lived life…

“I will not die an un-lived life…

I will not live in fear of of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible,
to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.

I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom; and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on to fruit.”
