“It is a strange and wonderful fact to be
here, walking around in a body, to have a whole world within you and a world at
your fingertips outside you. It is an immense privilege, and it is incredible
that humans manage to forget the miracle of being here. Rilke said, ‘Being here
is so much,’ and it is uncanny how social reality can deaden and numb us so
that the mystical wonder of our lives goes totally unnoticed. We are here. We
are wildly and dangerously free.”
John O'Donohue, Anam Cara
