Daily Question, June 22

What is life?

  • Carla

    The only Life I know of is a Cosmic Dance, comprised of all beings in all forms, energies and microorganism here on planet Earth, better known as Turtle Island.

    . . . the first thought that popped into my head . . .

    ‘the wind under my wings’ . . .

    what animates me
    from a lump of clay.

  • Trish

    Life is a journey, a teacher & the most precious of things. I often take life for granted knowing how foolish that is.

  • Mike S

    Beyond its basic biological reality life at its core is about being present to oneself, to others, in the world and some largeness of life.

  • Misty

    A finite collection of days and nights, each with their own physical and emotional weather, choices, challenges and opportunities to connect, love, learn and grow.

    Living is an experience that we need to celebrate both the good and bad experiences. The bad experiences are lessons for us. Life is fleeting, short lived so we should try to make the best of it, embrace and experience as much of it as possible. I believe that once our life is completed, our body will no longer function but our inner essence will continue on in the cosmos ..

    I experience it as an infused energy, moving through me, facilitated by this physical manifestation (my body). Kinda of like if life were radio waves. Moving constantly around, invisible, bouncing off of everything and everyone, and I am a radio receiver able to capture it, and turn it into perceptible audio (music or words)....the radio works or doesn’t. The radio waves are there anyways. I was waiting at a traffic signal the other day, a HUGE intersection with six lanes each way crossing...

    I was waiting at a traffic signal the other day, a HUGE intersection with six lanes each way crossing and multiple turn lanes, and I was stunned by a tuft of grass that was growing in a crack in the pavement in the middle of the lane next to me. Life is persistent. It never stops trying to grow in whatever way it can…it’s marvelous in that way. And in some respects I am relieved because despite all our stupidity and arrogance as a species. The damage we do will be overcome. Life will work it out.
