Today during my mediation I truly focused on my breath, and it was a revelatory experience. I could feel my mortality, my biological body sustaining itself with the oxygen it requires to exist.

Afterwards my thoughts strayed to the universe. The elements that exist in the universe are what we have to manipulate, to play with, so to speak, within the “rules,” or properties, of the universe. And we’re still learning these rules.

We can do anything we want within the confines of these basic laws and elements. We can be anything we want. How amazing that simple fact is, this life is. What will we embark on, what will we embrace, what will we do with this sentience? What do we want to be?
