What does it mean to truly live?
Is it to love?
Or to hope?
I would venture to say that to truly live is to Risk it all
Risk loving
Risk losing
Risk hoping
Risk a broken heart
For if we never Risk anything we will never gain anything
For a real life is laughed heartily
and cried darkly
a real life is a life of hope
and of deep hurt
a real life is lived with arms extended
and hearts wide open
For to really live is to Risk falling into the arms of the one that holds it all and to Risk the only thing worth gaining: a life.
-Matthew 10:39-
