How to be alive?

Maria Popova Blog

It's not familiarity, but the comparison that breeds contempt;
So don't compare!

You think that I have a right to receive;
No - don't feel that
Be grateful - and wonder about
Becoming worthy to receive them!

Be Alive! -
In this life -
A brief interlude of consciousness
Between Chaos and Chaos
A life gifted by exquisite precision and punctuated by Chance

The recognition of this unbidden miracle of chance is the
Fundamental matter of meaning
And to awaken this miraculousness - and
Constantly reminding us of the meaning -

This Is the great creative challenge of Life!
