Wondering about the meaning of life, I did what any sensible person would do, and I Googled it. The list of definitions was poetically striking, and the results are laid out here for you to ponder.
There are some conflicting viewpoints of course, as that’s life. Does it begin at 30 or at 80? Is it a trainwreck or amazing? Is it a dream or an illusion, and are those different? Some of the answers left me with more questions, like, “Life begins at the hop.” In which case I may be failing at life.
Given that life keeps changing, I suppose tomorrow’s Google search might come up with something different, but I have enough answers to ponder, so no need. For sure, life is strange.
Let me know what you think.

This is fun (not feudal, or futile! That cracked me up!). I often think of life as a journey, but that didn’t come up in your results, although similar ones did. Life is a mystery, and like Iris says, “No one knows for certain, so it’s all the same to me. I think I’ll just let the mystery be.”

Well – that pretty much sums it up. I like “life begins when your born” because isn’t that the damn truth no matter what age you happen to be!

I thought that too, then I was thinking it was more political and a pro-choice kind of statement. Either way, +++

I have card taped directly above my computer monitor I bought (and I was going to give it to someone but that someone is now ME) that says “life is slippery. here, take my hand.” credit H. Jackson Brown Jr. I love it so much and it never stops resonating. xoxo
