Life is plenty, and I am full of it. Plushies as pillows, I am thinking of you. Don’t waste your life; it’s over in the blink of an eye. Every ray of sunshine could be your last, every breath could be the ultimate stop. I wonder, can’t you see how wonderful it is? We’re human! We can walk, laugh, cry, smile, run, sleep, breathe, hug, think - we are capable of everything! We are godly creatures. Go feel the grass between your toes, feel the rush of air brushing your tender skin, or the sour taste of an apple that shouldn’t have been harvested just yet.

And there are also animals? I mean, they have thoughts of their own? That’s absolutely crazy, almost made up. Like, in the forest there are deer. And they even sleep beneath pines at times. THEY SLEEP BENEATH PINES! Have you ever slept beneath a pine? If not, go. It’s summer, and the gentle red nights are your best friends.

By the way, do you know the feeling of forest earth lightly compressing beneath the softness of your feet?

Life is beautiful. I mean, there is cancer, and there is AIDS, and there is ME, and all these other diseases — but still, can’t you see it? We were not made for wondering about what we were made for; we were made for living. And living is truly the most honest act of being on a truly boundless, endless earth. I am a visitor in my skin, existing to vibrate and integrate, ascend and descend; a visitor, visiting life. This text shouldn’t be a lie. I am not living right now. I am closer to dying than to living, but you can’t imagine what I would give for one more day of glee in a forest. A day full of ladybugs on clovers, a day filled with the sweet innocence of dew in the first hours, a day full of uncompromising living.

Clarity within each pocket of emptiness, radiating quietness.

I am happy I am earth. I am proud to be human. Sometimes I am just missing the humanity around me. Do other people forget they are human at times? It feels like it. If you are reading this text, remember that the air around you is ultimately there for you to breathe. Absolutely incredible, isn’t it?
