THE ABSOLUTION OF LIFE

What is life?

Any attempt to define the indefinable and limit the limitless is going to be futile

What is life about?
Personal power? Happiness? Honesty? Success? Enlightenment?
Sure. There's a lot of those things around.
It's also about Impotence. Suffering. Ignorance. Failure and Lostness. There's a lot of that around, too.
I've found my life to be about a bit of everything --
This and That
And neither This nor That....
All of This and That and more.....
And none of it really. There is something else.....

Life is what happens while you're living the unsolvable mystery,
Embracing the un-knowable,
Playing with agendas, timetables, plans, goals and expectations
In a medium that has none of the above.

Life could be a living, radiant, flowing  present-ness, but it cannot be confined to that either.

So I make this declaration for myself --

My life is a surrender to not-knowing how it's going to turn out next, and a commitment to embrace as much as I can in the moment, and to journey wherever the flow may take me.

So be it.

Now you make your declaration, for yourself --

What is Life about?
