Are you living each day?

Had reunion with my schoolmates, most of whom I've known for over 30 years.
One of them tells me he's moving back to Taiping. Taking it easier. 
I think he's living life the way it should be lived.
And so I declare.

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 comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.
