“Happiness always returns.”

– TUT

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.
