golden nuggets

i found gold today.

grabbed a favorite book...
'i will not die an unlived life'
(love this book)

only had a few minutes.

here's some tidbits from those few minutes!

'what would it be like to open our hearts to
our fear, to befriend it with wonder, as one
would a deer in the forest?'
..........

'there is something highly passionate about
living in conscious relationship to fear.'
..............

'...still each time, prior to setting out,
fear seems more justified than trust.'
..............

'what do i love more than i fear? how can
i motivate myself with what i love?'
............
and the final kicker!

'do you want to die numb?
"no!" i hissed back. 'id rather die soft
and feeling pain than hard, brittle and numb.
i want to die with my heart free, wide open,
wondering and loving fiercely!
the response was immeditate: "then how do you
have to live so you can be sure to die that way?"


woe.
and woe.
and wow.

author dawna markova.......thank you!
