What is the meaning of Life?
Life is a magazine.
How much does it cost?
Fifty cents.
That's pretty expensive,
That's Life!

" What is the meaning of Life cannot be put into words. It is something you feel at certain moments: when you are fully present with a loved one, or with a tree that enchants you, or completely at one with yourself. it's an experience, not a concept , and it cannot be held onto in time."
~ Joel Rosenfeld

"The meaning of Life has to be Love. What else?
When I was young, I used to think love was infatuation, plain and simple. that druglike rush when you meet someone. The kick in teh ribs, the drama-- love would be in my veins and I couldn't get enough.
Then, reality would seep in. the glitter would wear away and reveal just another person. Human. Fallible. Sometimes dull. Yet always perfect with its imperfections...and I would fall out of love or move on.
Years passed . Life kicked me around a little. It knocked the princess out of me.
Gradually, I learned the tough and inescapable lesson that love is something you GIVE, not something you FALL into.
The falling part is a trick nature plays to get us to mate with each other. The LOVE part is what brings us closer to our realized self, aka, Spirit."

* THE REPLY BELOW, which I received in my email box..reminded me of something someone from the WACCO world (maybe mykil?) would say in response to the question , "
What is the Meaning of LIFE ?"
What is the meaning of Life?
Its all about ass. No, Really!!
You spend your entire life busting it, or trying to cover it up, so you don't get caught kissing it or kicking it. If you're good enough to get away with it, you end up laughing it off because your actually able to get a piece of it. Well, as long a your not being one!
