The Difference - June 8, 2000

The difference between living
and just existing
is feeling.

To live
you must feel
everything,
every nuance,
every pain,
and like a boat,
go with the waves
or sink.

To exist,
you do not feel
and just work,
eat,
sleep,
with nothing that
excites you,
disturbs you,
or even bothers you.

- This pome is for KS - who reminded me
that the stanza: "Have you ever thought
of living as something beyond surviving."
was good.
