I Will Not Die an Unlived Life
•

Today's episode features a short poem by Dawna Markova, "I Will Not Die an Unlived Life." It reflects on how to inhabit our lives, risk our tender significance, and set aside the voices of fear. It invites us to embrace our lives as they actually are, receive the seed we've been given and to nourish them to blossom and then fruit.
I first heard this poem at a coaching summit for pastors four years ago in Bloomington, Illinois, and it blesses me still to this day. I hope it blesses you too.
