What is life:
An experience
a journey:
from birth to death
to life.
If you’re “lucky”
you choose wisely
and surrender
in order to live.
But in faith, first
you must die.
then-and-only-then
are you free from fear
of life and death
and you can truly thrive.
So is the first part of the journey:
the mystery of Christ —
salvation and all that —
to be truly alive
to thrive and dive into life
is first to die to self
and so to live.
So is the beginning.
