Sophie


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 a seed
goes to the next as a blossom
and that which came
to me as a blossom,
goes on as a Fruit.

Today, my Fruit is twelve. And counting...

Honey, mommy loves you so very much.

Happy birthday.
