I will not die an unlived life

This poem by Dawna Markova became an Internet phenomenon and inspired people around the world. It's a marvelous expression of the spiritual practice of zeal.

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.
