if you really want to taste
the fullness of life
and if you want to
be able to say
you knew life intimately
you will have to give life
everything
you will have to give it
all of you
and hold nothing back
hold absolutely
nothing back
as rumi once said
‘half heartedness
doesn’t lead to majesty.’
resolve now to throw away
your cautious self
and be done with
hanging back
from your deepest desire
to grow and shine!
life is too short
to be wasted
on caution and doubt.
