About Living

Greetings.
In the context of this discussion about Work Life & Living, I propose that living be looked at as the outcome of having life and working to enrich the experience. That we are talking about he functional meaning and the purpose of living. So I am not just surviving, it is not only that I have a pulse, but that there is opportunity for the expression of the creative impulse and some capacity for the appreciation of that fact. In this discussion, I seek to explore the idea, that living is in effect mostly about being on the upward trend. We should truly appreciate the opportunity, the blessing, the hope that obtains, when regardless of how desperate conditions are, how oppressive the situation, the observation that "she, he, they are still living" is made. That you, me and so many loved ones are still alive is inspiring, offers hope, challenge and also begs the question how are we honoring this fact and what responsibilities accrue to us. The proposal is that regardless of the circumstance we do have an opportunity to be about the business, to do the work of living life in expression of our highest creative potential, for the enrichment of whatever we hold most sacred.It is an act of grace, of self nourishment to be in that state of awareness, engaged in that most vital activity, where living is good because we are working to make it so. Let us continue to explore the ideas/thoughts that may be stimulated by these questions?
