Wonderfully enjoyable piece, DJ. These lines here remind me of the Oscar Wilde quote “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” and this line "If you live in not Being have you de facto suicided?" from my long poem I posted last night that you might enjoy: Poem of War, Peace, Love, Fear, Science, Philosophy and Spirituality https://medium.com/illumination-curated/poem-of-war-peace-love-fear-science-philosophy-and-spirituality-542c44925416
