Experience Informs True Living

Let us pry open this vacuum-sealed airplane door; we want to walk on the clouds, frolicking our way into experience. Surely we will not fall, for we are invincible- and if we do, then we will have lived through another exposure to truth. Let us stand, bare legged, naked arms, and embrace the sub zero winter winds. We won't freeze, for passion drives this interaction with feeling. Don't stop the music- the energy is still rising, and gives no sign of abating. Let us swing our hips and flail our arms to a rhythmic beat in celebration of life, of beginnings.

We just want to know that we are alive.

We don't have to worry about tomorrow. It will come on its own as we continue in this process of living. There is no need to degrade ourselves, for when we live life, beauty is illuminated..... and right now we are absolutely, breathtakingly STUNNING.

So just let us live. We have listened to your stories and have heard your advice, but now we want to make these lives our own. Together we may fall, freeze, dance until our body parts fall off... but we will laugh.... because in it all, we will find beauty and meaning and a place in the universe.

In the experience, we will find LIFE.
