Being alive

People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. 

I don't think that's what we're really seeking. 

I think what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, 

so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane 

will have resonance within our own innermost being and reality, 

so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. 

That's what it's all finally about.
