Death pushed me to the edge. Nowhere to back off. And to the shame of my fears, I danced with abandon in his face. I never danced as free. And Death backed off, the way dark backs off a sudden burst of flame. Now there's nothing left, but to keep dancing. It is the way I would have chosen had I been born three times as brave.~Mark Nepo

This is beautiful and brave. Thank you for this quote. May I borrow for some future post on my blog? Have a wonderful weekend.
For sure, Barb. I love the thoughtful, thought-provoking writing of Nepo. Glad you enjoyed this excerpt from his Book of Awakenings.
This is a great synchronicity...a couple of days ago, my aunt emailed and asked if I had read this guy....now you are quoting him. I guess I need to check him out!
Hi M,I have not hear of Mark Nepo before. I read it a few times and each time I learned what he may have meant. Very thought provoking. Thank you so much for sharing his work with us.
Have a wonderful weekend.
