It'll get easier.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 comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.There'll be two dates on your tombstone And all your friends will read 'em But all that's gonna matter is that little dash between 'em.We are not human beings on a spiritual journey.
