I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze
than it should be stifled by dry rot.

than a sleepy and permanent planet.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.

We need less posturing and more genuine charisma.
Charisma was originally a religious term,
meaning "of the spirit" or "inspired."
It's about letting God's light shine through us.
It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy.
It's an invisible energy with visible effects.
To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper.
Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright.
We're letting our own light shine.
