What makes you feel awake, alive? Is it jumping in the ocean, listening to music or sleeping under the stars? Maybe just taking a deep breath is all you need to remember that having been born into a human body is in and of itself magical. I was reminded of this today while walking in my neighborhood. I felt like crap as my big pregnant body tried to make it up a hill so I stopped, took a deep breath and looked out into the trees. The air smelled sweet and the ocean breeze cooled my face. Instantly I was reminded on the genius of being present. I felt alive.
"I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive." --Joseph Cambell
