Moving through my thoughts

 What exactly is life or living? Yes, I am completely functioning on my own, without the assistance of family and friends, doctors,nurses or aids but, am I living? Am I alive? I can see,hear,feel,smell and taste. Does that mean that I am living? We wake up everyday and usually start our days the same. We may hit the snooze button 7 times before we actually decide to get out of bed. We may choose to check out phones immediately after opening our eyes. No matter what it is that we do on the mornings or whatever time of day we start our task, usually it’s the same routine or close to it. When I looked up the definition of Life, I found one that had me thinking.. hmm. Life: “A sustainable organization in liquid state”. When I thought about liquid, I obviously thought about water lol. Water flows.. what can be gentle at times and aggressive at others. Are our daily routines flowing or more of a control stated, more a state of resistance? When I personally think of life and what it means to me.. not coming from Google or book, I think of things that aren’t/weren’t made by man with the human mind. For example, Air,Earth,Water and Fire 4 of the main elements we all know about can’t be replaced or modified. All of those things flow, in its own way. From a fire spreading to The wind blowing 70mph to a severe Earthquake moving the plates and shift the ground from one distance to another. Then when I think of the elements , Spirit comes to mind. Spirit is that energy that makes up all those elements together. Spirit is the oneness of all those elements. Spirit is the oneness of all that is life. Spirit essentially gives,receives,creates,provides etc. and does all of these things by just BEING  what it is. There’s no definition for spirit really, I mean I don’t feel like it can really be DEFINED. Yes, we can use nice word play to describe it but, that does nothing for what spirit actually is ultimately. So complex, yet so beautiful,so peaceful, so loving by just BEING. There’s no separation between you and spirit. It’s the mind that brings about the idea of “separation”. We use labels and titles within society to set apart one thing from another. We attach ourselves to our bodies, how we look , what close we wear, how much money we have or don’t,religion etc. and identify ourselves with those things. We forget and lose our sense of self more and more by attaching more ideas to ourself and call it living. If you decide to detach from all the things of the mind, the things created by man then what does that make you?
