I will not die and unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling
or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my kliving 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 on to the next
as blossom,
and that which came to me as blossom
goes on as fruit.
-Dawna Markova
