Life
Life is the purpose of the Universe.
Too many scientists are spending money trying to spark the first living organism. Everyone wants to know how it all started. Under what conditions? Etc.
The fact that everything is in motion. From the sand to the stars. Tells us that the whole process was started to sustain life.
You don’t start life somewhere on a lava hot planet, spurting steam and being blasted with asteroids.
You don’t start life in a test tube, and then ship it airmail to Earth from Sirius as a seed ship.
You start life as an idea of being more than a sleeping body.
You start life in your dreams.
You wake up one day and start figuring it out, because life is a miracle, not a question.
Life is amazing, until it is awesome.
It’s awesome until it is curious.
Life is curious until it is scary.
Life is scary until it is beautiful.
Then Life is just Life.
It’s something we have been given, even if it’s just one more second…
And it’s fragility and beauty make it amazing all over again.
And then you see others who are in different stages of their view on life…
And you’re thankful to be reminded by them that it has been such a journey.
