I have had the experience countless times…making love, watching a sunset, listening to music, feeling the breeze…that I would sign up for this whole life and all of its pains, just to experience this exact moment. This is a kind of wordless knowing. Its the most important and real truth I know: that experience itself is infinitely meaningful. And pain is temporary. And seen clearly, even the suffering is filled with beauty. I have experienced countless lives worth of moments worthy of life. Such an unreasonable fortune. Grace.
