What is the value of your existence?
I once received a question from a Magician
-What is the value of your existence?
I'm hanging in there. White noise. A frantic search for an answer to a seemingly simple question.
And I went to the bank of the river to call for a goldfish. Because well... I didn't know the answer.
I did not know what to answer the question of what my value was, so I just started to observe: here I sit, here the river flows, there are trees, birds, clouds, houses people, boats and if you imagine for a moment that I am gone, nothing will change. life will continue its course and my tears flowed because I am so... because I am trying so hard to "disappear".
And yet I absolutely appreciate all the trees, I appreciate this river. I love the house we live in, I love the people who live in this house.
And through the pain I began to imagine the river disappearing, the trees disappearing, the houses disappearing, the people disappearing, and nothing left... nothing. And then an absolute understanding comes over me that the value is simply in existence. In life itself. I mean, all that surrounds us is all life. And it is a value. And the time we spend here. And everyone has a place, everyone is valuable simply because they are.
"I began today to share an understanding of the value of life and the meaning of life If I may say so.
I found this boundary right here. I'm very grateful for the question I was just overwhelmed very much Thank you." - writes Katya from 2019.
Calmness poured out inside.
And how I love to pee-
the jewels available to all are the glare of the sun on the water.
Just because they are :)
