meme: 6 word memoir

got this from

roina_arwen (thanks!):

SMITH Magazine is collecting Six Word Memoirs and will be publishing a book of them in February. "Since SMITH celebrates the personal side of storytelling, our twist on this classic concept is the six-word memoir -- the short, short true story of your life. It could be the title of your autobiography, or maybe your epitaph. Shorter than haiku and meatier that a one-liner, it truly makes you take stock of who you are. Try it."

Mine:
"love all, share truth openly; flourish."

tell me your life story in 6 words

I like this a lot but *sigh* I couldn't do this without cheating (as usual). I have three different six word memoirs for different parts of me, at least I kept them all to six words!

-my spirituality: One rather than Nothing, a miracle.
-my ethics: We are One, Love nourishes all.
-my self-'mantra': truth is whole, lie is divided.

I love yours. Especially since it has my favourite word 'flourish' in it.

I love this idea! Mine would be

Perhaps a little darker than yours, but I suppose my "memoir" could change if I work hard enough on it!
