You have arrived on this earth,
with this many or that many years left to you,
as soul in human container,
for one reason:
To learn to live.
Not in a small way: a puny life
of shame and fear and pain.
Not in a middling way: a careful life
without risk, without reward.
Not in a reckless way:
burning all bridges
the moment you cross them.
But with eyes open, heart open.
Willing to connect, engage, learn, expand, grow.
Willing to make mistakes, mess up, stumble, lose.
Willing to fail, fail again, fail even further.
All failure is growing.
