"A Beautiful Quote" from Shelby Duckworth

I’ve been doing some cleaning and came across the following quote. As I was reading it, I felt compelled to share it with all of you.

“I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of failing 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.”
