Alive
People say that they are looking for meaning in their lives. I don't think that's really what we're looking for. I think we're looking for the experience of being alive. - Joseph Campbell
The quote could be mine - it always touches me deeply when I experience that people exist without it seeming to be alive in their hearts. And I want to do what I can (write, coach, support) to encourage the living in others. And, of course, to be alive myself and to resist everything that wants to steal my life.
That quote is brilliant. It really resonates with me. Thank you for mentioning it here.
Whenever I think about the meaning of life, the phrase „to love and be loved“ always springs to mind. For me, that is the essence of it.
Dear Kerstin, what you’ve written about that quote is brilliant, and I think it’s wonderful that there are people like you who help others rediscover their zest for life. I feel that this is such an important service, especially today and here in our city, Berlin. I often feel the coldness of the city in my heart and have to stand up to it. May God’s blessings be with you in 2011 too
