For Me

For me: 

for me - life equals that which participates with living, and nothing possibly could be excluded from this, and all things belong within its framework. Of course science has it's own definition, correct within its branch and narrow view. I have no argument with science, theirs is a specific field with a mission to accomplish. Science achieves great and noble things. But I have no such agenda. I simply write from my own intuitive sense of wonder and awe, grateful that I belong to such a beautiful world. 

and for me - it's all about belonging, that not one thing can be removed from what surely seems complete, whole, and true. I exist because everything else does as well, inter-dependent, and intimate in a seamless fashion. An ocean teems with life, individual from largest mammal to the microscopic - and yet done would exist without an oceans hold. 

it's all life.

nothing can be seen separate from that which holds it in embrace - air is alive by nature of its touch, the earth lives by extension of its giving ground. Each aspect participates for the continuation and well being of the whole. This is exactly where I belong, thick in the process of being alive, giving breath as a function for feeding trees, my body one day returned to nourish earth. I am alive for the well being of the world, and the world equals life through its allowing embrace. 

it's not bound by any definition - all there is...

is life.
