I Will Not Die An Unlived Life

 

 

 

"I will not die an unlived life.

 

I will not live in fear

 

of falling or catching fire.

 

I choose to inhabit my days,

 

to allow my living to open to 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 on to the next as blossom.

 

And that which came to me as

 

blossom,

 

goes on as fruit."

- Dawna Markova
