My heart becomes a wing, a torch, a promise



"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."

Oh Leonie and Sonya! And I thought I would have gotten tired of seeing your goddess photos by now - NOT!!! The last one sent shivers down my spine. Simply POWERFUL. You captured S's essence right there, IMO. Love you both, always. ~ K.ps - have always loved that quote since pre-momma days. thanks for reviving it in my consciousness. i think it's just what a friend of mine needs right now. BLESSINGS.
