TO OWN LIFE

TO OWN LIFE

IS TO GIVE TO IT

ALL THAT IS

INSIDE YOURSELF

LEAVING NOTHING

TO SPARE

TO OWN LIFE

IS TO ADMIT

THAT LIFE

DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU

BUT THAT

YOU ARE ONE OF ITS KEEPERS

ITS GUARDIAN

ITS WILLING SERVANT

AND ITS GUIDE

TO OWN LIFE

IS TO FEEL

THE CONNECTION

ALL AROUND US

AND TO KNOW

THAT OUR INDIVIDUAL LIVES

HAVE AN IMPACT

ON ONE ANOTHER

WHETHER WE ACKNOWLEDGE IT

OR NOT

TO OWN LIFE

IS TO LIVE

WISELY

SPEAK GENTLY

ACT WITH PRINCIPLE

STAND STRONG

AND SIGN ONE’S NAME

ON THE BLANK SPACE

OF ITS UNWRITTEN

CANVAS.
