I will not die an unlived life

Morning: Psalms 148, 149, 150; Deuteronomy 6:1-9; Hebrews 12:18-29

Evening: Psalms 114, 115; John 12:24-32

Apologies if I shared Dawna Markova’s poem before. It is my response to today’s Gospel:

 

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.
