Alive is more than Enough … (07/19/12)
“I would rather be a flower which blooms in full glory and then dies, than be a shrub that lives for centuries yet never blossoms.
I would rather be a spark that blazes brilliantly for but a moment, than be a glimmering bulb that pulses for years, yet is too dim to illuminate the Way of Love.
I would rather be a sparkling meteor which shines its radiant Beauty but for an instant, than be a cold & sleepy planet.
I am born to LIVE …
… not merely to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them …
I shall use my time — I shall LOVE.”
(inspired by Tayyiba Iram)
