Gift

Just this? Just! As if that were not enough, this—just this—is the most precious gift there is: being alive. Knowing each other, knowing oneself, knowing the Other. Being in a body—embodied form.

Consciousness taking embodied form to become, for a moment, for some time, self-aware and to look at the stars above and below, and into your eyes.

This is the meeting; this is the gift that we gratefully accept, take, and use.
