This is a quote by Dawna Markova. But I want to make it my own promise. To myself and to the world.

I will not die an unlived life.

I will not live in fear of failing 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 comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom
and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.
