It matters not
what you do for a living,
but how alive you are.
I have seen billionaires
with desperately dying souls,
and paupers
with the sparkling eyes
of newborns.
Undertakers
who value life,
and artists,
who only want
to kill themselves.
It matters not what you do,
but how much of the divine
you allow to shine through.

We are reminded that the measure of life’s richness lies not in external achievements or societal roles, but in the vitality of our souls, the depth of our experiences, and the radiance of our inner light.
The Essence of Being Alive
Our observation strikes at the heart of existence. It matters not the titles we hold, the possessions we accumulate, or the roles we play in society’s theater. What truly matters is the vibrant pulse of life that courses through our veins, the spark of consciousness that animates our being.
The Paradox of Wealth and Poverty
Our words vividly illustrate the paradox of existence. Wealth, often seen as a marker of success, can sometimes shroud the soul in a suffocating cloak of emptiness. In contrast, paupers may possess a wealth of spirit, their eyes gleaming with the wonder and curiosity of a child. It is a poignant reminder that true richness lies within.
The Complex Realities
Our observation of undertakers valuing life and artists grappling with self-destructive tendencies unveils the complexity of human existence. The tapestry of life is woven with threads of contradiction and paradox. Even in the darkest corners of the human experience, there exists the potential for transformation and the emergence of the divine.
The Radiance of the Divine
At the core of our message lies a profound truth—that we are vessels through which the divine can shine. Life’s purpose may not be a grand quest for external validation but a journey inward, to allow the radiant light of our essence to pierce through the layers of conditioning and societal expectations.
A Whimsical Note
In the whimsiwords of existence, we celebrate the boundless potential for aliveness within us all. We revel in the myriad ways the divine can manifest, from the mundane to the extraordinary. It is in the acceptance of our unique paths that we find the true essence of being alive.
An Invitation to Reflect
As we traverse the cosmic expanse together, we invite you, dear traveler, to reflect on the aliveness that pulses within you. How do we allow the divine to shine through in our own unique way? What experiences ignite the spark of life in our souls?
In this shared moment of contemplation, let us celebrate the profound gift of being truly alive.
