Life is god

Life is god. Life is what creates me, sustains me, and transforms me into sustenance for other lives. I will die and become compost for the crops which the foraging animals will eat and transform into food. What life has given me it will in turn give to others.

But what of my art, my loves, my good works? Am I content that in the end they will all amount to nothing more than milk?

Perhaps it is mine to be a chronicler of impermanence -- to pass on the recognition that life never endures intact. In death even greatness is deconstructed and what emerges may bear little resemblance to the life once lived.

Perhaps to be a faithful partner in dialogue with life is its own reward. It may leave no visible residue but it may soften impermanence so that life passes through it easier, with less anxiety, more joy.

Perhaps. I have faith.
