It is only through becoming aware of our patterns of behaviour can we change what, so often, is passed down unconsciously from generation to generation as expressed beautifully by Dawna Markova.
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 seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me
as blossom goes on as fruit.
