About Me

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 BLOSSOM AND THAT WHICH COMES TO ME AS BLOSSOM, GOES ON AS FRUIT. ~Dawna Markova..
