A Reason I Like Dawna Markova (in case you wondered)

I Will Not Die An Unlived Life

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

I'm glad you like it. She's a favorite of mine. I first encountered her when learning about her theory of perceptual processing.

Happy birthday - I hope you're having a nice one!

Thanks! It was a blur of school activity. We're going to celebrate properly after my next residency. :)
