A Certain Grace and Awe

 A certain grace and awe:

existence is enough, just being, and accepted as life in its unique flow of events and my own awareness of this happening. Nothing needs to be added to this, no afterlife that adds a greater promise, nor a special state of higher power. It's enough for me to exist, to simply be, and to know that I'm aware, and indeed I find myself in a certain grace that this is so. 

it takes no effort for me to exist, not for the bare essence of being - my existence is cared for without concern, a heart that functions in a rhythm of life, lungs that give measure to exact breath to stay alive, and infinite functions of cells, molecules and further still particles that have somehow danced my form to life. It's a miracle of being, and all this for the sole and only purpose of my life. I spend no small part of my day in gratitude. 

that I am alive is a gift, and there seems little enough to offer in return - my wish is to bring note to this awareness, a certain awe to life itself and how I find myself included in its hold. To exist is to be a displayed miracle through every moment, a testament to effortless function, and an aspect of life that has awakened to its own potential. That I am, alive, aware, in certain grace and awe - this existence is truly enough.
