Adhara Catalogue | Winter 2017 1 | Page 63

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 .
LAST WORDS

FULLY ALIVE

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 .
