Like flies in a train car,
we know where we want to go but not where we’re going.1
My life in LIFE.
What makes them different?
Me, the “my”…
Can I say “my LIFE”? No, certainly not.
Can I say “my life”? Yes, I can.
But, isn’t it the myriad of lives
nothing but LIFE on the move?
I can’t stop living my life, of course.
Not for me, but for life.
But “how I live” is in my hands.
Do I live my life or live LIFE?
Or rather,
am I me or am I LIFE?
I’m LIFE.
And still, the “I’m” is not needed…
