The Mystery of Being Alive


The experience of being alive is so seductive that it overwhelms the mystery of being alive -- the sense of ourselves as being separate from everything else.

On one hand, we are separate. On the other, we are not.

On one hand, we are unique. On the other, there is no we. There is no I.

To be, or not to be. That is the first question of being alive.
