Life Experiences

Life is hard.  The grind of obligations. The stresses. The frustrations.  Sometimes it feels like we’re barely keeping our heads above water. So we ask ourselves: Why do we live?  What's it all for? Why do we even bother? I believe we live for something so uniquely human that we often overlook it. I believe we live for the aesthetic experience of life.

I want to talk to you about a few reasons to live, and to love being alive.  But first I want to talk about death, because death helps us appreciate life.  It puts things in perspective. The first time this was really clear to me was when I was 17 years old and almost died.
