Bearing Leaves and Glossy Fruit

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.

Hate the word verification in this.

Well then, Tabor..... Perhaps the time has come to get rid of the wretched word verification protocol.

Love the woman standing behind what she writes . . . definitely more accessible to those of us with failing eyesight.
