From Ash Wednesday by James W. Bailey

Dying to yourself you become the death of your own life...the cemetary of your refusal to live...This graveyard of denial contains the decayed fragments of your unlived experiences...To walk among these ruins is to walk along paths you never knew existed...To know they exist in death...is to find out how out much alive you really were to begin with.
