"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?—every, every minute?"
- Thornton Wilder, Our Town
do we ever understand how miraculous the small things in life are? the smiles? the laughter? the beauty in the face of a friend? the elegiac qualities of sunsets? do we ever truly understand what miracle being alive is? how amazing the mechanisms in our bodies are that allow us to breathe? every firing of a neuron that even allows us to blink? how miraculous is living, even when we feel worthless! each of us is wonderfully and beautifully made; we all have a purpose. sometimes our purpose is to be a friend, or an aquaintance, or a parent, or a lover. There is so much we take for granted. but stop and think a moment. what wouldn't you give for one more sunrise with someone you love once you've seen your last sunset in this realm of living? Time is precious, you are precious.. don't EVER believe otherwise.
