you are life.

You are Life passing through your body, passing through your mind, passing through your soul. Once you find that out, not with the logic, not with the intellect, but because you can feel that Life — you find out that you are the force that makes the flowers open and close, that makes the hummingbird fly from flower to flower. You find out that you are in every tree, you are in every animal, vegetable, and rock. You are that face that moves the wind and breathes through your body. The whole universe is a living being, that is moved by that force, and that is what you are. You are Life.

- don Miguel Ruiz, The Mastery of Love

We like to complicate the hell out of our “lives”, but when all the bravado and scrutiny is stripped away, Life is simply the animating force moving through us, breathing, being, longing to create and experience something new.
