I will not die an unlived life...

I just discovered a beautiful book by Dawna Markova "I will not die and unlived life - Reclaiming Purpose and Passion"; which I highly recommend. Her poem is powerful:

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 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 as fruit.

~Dawna Markova, Ph.D.

(Originally she wrote "I will not live and unlived life..." at the beginning of the poem, in her book "The Art of the Possible" - under "Risk Your Significance")

What an important message! Let's live a good life, full of purpose, love, kindness, compassion and peace. Find passion in your life! Reignite the fire in your heart! Live on purpose…
