Being

Amongst tests and work and friends and food and fun and blogs and writing and sports and sleep and everything that goes along with living... life.

I have missed life itself.

In the peaceful quiet, of a library, amidst rustling of books, and looming tests to be taken, I choose to be alive.

I return to my Lord, the creator of life, the giver of life, the man who knows what this fleeting life is all about.

May I not live of my own accord, through my own strength, through the realm of this world.

Perhaps I might agree with true life, as the Lord breathes in me his trancing Breath of life, so that today, I will not be a machine, performing mindless tasks...

But a living being. (Genesis 2:7)
