Alive is more than enough … ( 07 / 19 / 2012 )
“ 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 therefore not waste my days in trying to prolong them … I shall use my time …
… I shall LOVE .”
( inspired by Tayyiba Iram )
