Chip Browne,
You are Life.
Without Life, you would not exist.
Without you, Life would be diminished.
Without plants, animals, and other organisms, Lie would no Exist at all.
So in that way, we are all one.
When you think, speak, act, or feel...
LIFE is thinking, speaking, acting, and feeling.
So in every moment, you have the choice...
1 - You can stand by idly while Life goes on around you, useless as a benign fatty lump...
2 - You can be destructive to Life, lashing out at people, being negative, and making Life worse, like a Cancer...
3 - Or you can choose to Nourish Life by expanding yourself and cultivating beauty and joy in the people and circumstances around you...
The choice seems obvious, if you ask me ;-)
Peace & Power
