I need to see some evidence of life before I can declare it alive.

The textbook says that a thing must move, grow, reproduce, metabolize, and respond to stimuli to qualify as alive.

I need to …

• move through difficulty and ease
• grow in spirit and in strength
• reproduce and mentor to replace
• partake only my portion
• do unto others as I would want done unto me

to be fully alive.

There is life and then there’s life, abundant.

I’ll take abundance any day.
