I met up with my friend Jim Cohen last night whom I hadn’t seen in six months and he asked me how I was doing and what I was up to and I responded - ALIVE. To which he sent me this poem by Dickinson which pretty much sums it up. Gotta love poets.

To be alive — is Power –
Existence — in itself –
Without a further function –
Omnipotence — Enough –

To be alive — and Will!
‘Tis able as a God –
The Maker — of Ourselves — be what –
Such being Finitude!

~Emily Dickinson 1924
