Wonder of wonders! Mystery of mysteries! We are alive! We are together, not alone. All living beings are alive and living together, right here, right now.
A few articulate and influential humans make up stories but no one really knows how or why we are alive. We just are.
Some humans welcome being alive. They are healthy, able, and willing to face the challenges of living. They are truly pro-life and pro-choice. They value and affirm their own life and the lives of all other living beings. They choose to live their lives fully and do so their way.
This world is their home. They seek no other. Here they live, work, struggle, and play.
Others are less healthy, less able, and less willing to face the challenges of living. Some even resent those who are healthy. They resent being alive. They oppose choice and life. Rather than valuing and affirming, they devalue and deny their own life and the lives of others. They restrict the choices of others.
They dream of a better life and world, the "next life" in the "next world." They seek to escape life, work, struggle, and play.
There are three great mysteries. The first great mystery is this: the mystery of life. Wonder of wonders, we are alive!
