A reflection of how I want to live my life: Nothing in life is more devasting to see than a person that cannot live life. That is so bound by fear, often presented as a need to ensure I stay safe and healthy. I witnessed this once: a woman that was so afraid that she might catch a cold, (she was in her late 60's) that she hadn't seen her grandkids in 2 years!1 She was miserable...I made my mind up then that I would rather live and enjoy knowing it might be near the end, than hide and hate my life. This is a message my son posted on my face book page that expresses it perfectly.

"I won't die an unlived life. I wont 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 a seed goes to the next as a blossom and that which comes to me as a blossom, goes on as fruit." -unknown
