What is the most overlooked thing in our existence?

The thing that is as obvious as obvious can be, but remains obscured most of the time?

It’s aliveness.

It’s that which generates whatever lives.

The power of life itself, and the realization of that.

And we simply don’t notice it, because it’s prior to everything else.

We’re just too damn lost in whatever happens to feel the bigger feeling.

Too lost in the constantly changing human show, the thoughts, the feelings.

The mess.

The overwhelm.

The doubts.

The small things that seem huge.

We’re SO confused that we don’t recognize and acknowledge That which makes all of this possible.

We’ve learned to be exclusively interested in the stuff, the story, the things that change.

But how do we even know THAT we’re afraid, worried, or happy?

How can we feel, think, move, touch, exist, have adventures, and seem lost?

How can we tell we’re alive?

Because we are.

We are!

And while we obviously know it, we totally take it for granted.

We know it, but we hardly ever realize it.

The aliveness is the miracle.

Without it, nothing would exist.

It’s the ON-switch for whatever happens.

The juice that keeps the story flowing in all directions.

The energy, the intelligence, the driving force, the light that makes everything shine.

Just a gentle reminder.
