Life is a new born baby. Life is all around me, my cats snuggled around me, my husband getting a snack, the fly that got in while husband was barbecuing yesterday, my white orchids on the dining room table, the trees and bushes and grass outside in the very warm humid air, all the people in all their homes, along with their beloved animals.

Life is all around me, my cats snuggled around me, my husband getting a snack, the fly that got in while husband was barbecuing yesterday, my white orchids on the dining room table, the trees and bushes and grass outside in the very warm humid air, all the people in all their homes, along with their beloved animals. All the people in the world in laughter, play, intimacy, hope, awe and joy, People in pain, hunger, fear, anxiety and deep, deep sorrow. All the animal and creatures of the sky, land, fresh water and sea. Life is living, breathing, feeling emotion, listening to the sounds, feeling the shoes on ones feet and the hand of a loved one in one’s own. Looking deeply into the eyes of a loved one, watching children at play. Seeing the vastness of the ocean, smelling the salt water in the air, hearing the crashing of waves on the beach. What is life? I couldn’t begin to define it. Much of it is mystery to me. But I know it when I see it and I know it as I live it. So I have described a portion of life as I know it. Wishing much joy peace and contentment to all.

But I guarantee there is a unique, profound, and simply extraordinary answer for every type of person in one of these timeless books: http://james-allen.in1woord.nl 2 Reply Anna7 years agoAnnaThis question reminds me one of my cousins. He wad disabled, his brain was seriously damaged. Yet he was always smiling and his smiles were always so big. Once- maybe he was 11 years old and I was one year older than him - he asked me "Anna, what is life?". I discovered myself without an answer...the ridiculous part of this situation was that after years of parish school in my catholic faith, I was not able to answer with the words that I have been taught.

Once- maybe he was 11 years old and I was one year older than him – he asked me “Anna, what is life?”. I discovered myself without an answer…the ridiculous part of this situation was that after years of parish school in my catholic faith, I was not able to answer with the words that I have been taught. I don’t remember what I said, maybe “life is when one loves another and viceversa”. My cousin died when he was 12 years old. He loved people around him. Time has passed. Sometimes i think of a famous italian tale, animated by Walt Disney, speaking of a wooden puppet named “Pinocchio”. When the carpenter felt alone, he made this puppet. This carpenter was moved by love, and named the puppet and suddenly Pinocchio started living, speaking, moving. A mistery. Like the creation, like life.

It is the connection of heart, mind and soul with others. Life is hard, life is fun, life is an experience. The meaning of it is a mystery we may never solve. 2 Reply Deb7 years agoDebWhat is life? What. Is. Life. It is opportunity, invitation. “To be or not to be, that is the question.” Shakespeare wrote. Life is holy mystery. What a question! It’s precise definition eludes me. Maybe I am overthinking it. 5 Reply Kevin7 years agoKevinWhen it comes to the proverbial question, “what is life,” the words of George Bernard Shaw have always spoke volumes to me: “This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my... When it comes to the proverbial question, “what is life,” the words of George Bernard Shaw have always spoke volumes to me: “This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” – George Bernard Shaw Read More5 Reply Debbie D7 years agoDebbie DKevin, I am glad you wrote out this quote.

Life is the energy that moves and vibrates to create all of us, and the universe we live in.
