Wondering. If I am truly alive.

Knowing that I am. In the here and now. That’s the significant part of life. Of course, I could have always been me. But didn’t know it.  One must be conscious. To be truly alive.  I have doubts. That I was alive. In the moment I was born. When I squeezed out of the womb. It wasn’t until later that I became alive. With my first conscious thought. And even then, I still had to figure out the nature of consciousness. I’m still in the process.  Makes me wonder. If I am truly alive. --Jim Broede
