We Sleep, We Eat, We Breathe—We Are Human

We Sleep, We Eat, We Breathe—We Are Human

We sleep, we eat, we laugh, we cry, we envy, we’re surprised, we love, we hate, we abide, we tolerate. We fear, we rely on others, and we happen to see things differently. We all hide — we hide what we think others don’t see. We all think differently, we all love our own feelings. Every now and then, we all win.

What does it mean to be happy? What is joy? We cry, we are sad—this is human. This is what it means to be human, living in our own world, within our own universe. We are each in our own beauty and pain. To us, it is all that is.

But why? Because we are so small, so fragile, so tiny, so unconscious. If we were fully conscious, we wouldn’t be small. We’d be undeniably vast. Our focus wouldn’t be on the little things — “Why is my life like this? Why is my appearance this way? Why is my life so hard?”

Stop. These thoughts are so small compared to the bigger picture, the grand vision of life. Life is enormous, breathing, alive. It doesn’t care how you look or what you wear. It doesn’t care where you go or how you live. It doesn’t care what you do or what you have. It just wants you to see the bigger picture.

Be aware. Be conscious. The big picture is always there. All things are bigger than what we often focus on. There’s always more. Everything is larger than life itself, because breath is larger than life — breath is life.

Be one with that breath, and everything else will not matter. Live within that breath, and you will see what is truly larger than life.

Breath is the universe, and you are so small in comparison to it — to all the details of each day. Transcend this smallness. See beyond it. Understand what makes you bigger than breath, bigger than human, bigger than the physical, bigger than pain.

Pain is nothing but a reminder of how small you are, how human you are. It’s a fleeting foray into all you think you are. But if you rise above that, pain will cease to exist. Above it, pleasure is no longer necessary. Above it, everything will be revealed.

Be above all that is human, and you will become humane. Rise above past pain, comfort, and you will be free. Freedom, found through awakened consciousness, is never still. It is always moving, living, alive.

Be that freedom. It is not running away from things, but living among them — free and thriving. This freedom, birthed from awareness, encompasses everything around you. It is the freedom to be within each breath, each heartbeat, each movement, each life, and each soul.

This is the freedom that comes from seeing the bigger picture.
