WHEN RABBI BIRNHAM LAY DYING, HIS WIFE BURST INTO TEARS.
HE SAID, WHAT ARE YOU CRYING FOR?
MY WHOLE LIFE WAS ONLY THAT I MIGHT LEARN HOW TO DIE.
LIFE is in living.
It is not a thing, it is a process.
There is no way to attain to life except
by living it, except by being alive, by flowing, streaming with it.
If you are seeking the
meaning of life in some dogma, in some philosophy, in some theology, that Is the sure
way to miss life and meaning both.
Life is not somewhere waiting for you, it is happening in you.
It is not in the future as a
goal to be arrived at, it is herenow, this very moment -- in your breathing, circulating in
your blood, beating in your heart.
