A Life Lived Out Loud

So, here’s the choice. We can stop here—now,
And tread no further into the adventure of this lifetime,
Stunned into silence, by the storied fears within our heads,
Barren of exquisite feeling, satiated expression, and unqualified authenticity
Inwardly aware, at least at some level, of what we have forsaken with our choosing,
now and forever more, lost to this moment, this moment that only is.

Or, we can walk, heads bowed low, into the mystery of life,
Willing to embrace life with all its ups and downs, its apparent triumphs and failures,
Knowing that only abundant head-on, breathless, living-out-loud can satisfy,
We choose to be the expansive freedom that comes with our full consent to life,
And enter into this adventure eyes wide open and raised to the heavens,
Our hearts lay bare upon the altar of YES.
