What is life ?

Life is ongoing communication and transformation of enlivened matter. When I begin to observe and understand I discover complexities and variation at every scale. It takes courage to begin the quest of understanding what is life? The short answer is God the long answer is a life-long wonder and passion for life itself.

Seeking equilibrium in a world that is transforming time and time again. Nothing remains the same, we could say, it's the sun but not even that. The human population has created an entire environment that catered to its needs and desires. Technology augments our capacities. We are no longer bound to a specific location career or gender stigma. Humans enjoy much greater freedom today.

I want to raise above the current condition of my life, seeking to pop the bubble of my ignorance. Fears that I want to transcend, beliefs that I want to change. Worries and duties are what keep my bond from a limited perspective.

It is about perspective. People who move gain perspective. The other space perspective would make every human being on earth understand and know, viscerally that we're a planetary species, that our resources are limited, that we live within a larger ecosystem of complexity that only now we begin to grasp. There is no earth anywhere else, there is no possibility of expansion beyond earth.

Let's look at ways that enable a larger perspective:

• Understanding scale.
• The age of the earth and vs the average human lifespan.
• The scale of the universe vs the scale of earth
• Looking at life itself I see how a tiny living cell invisible to the human eye can be so complex. Inside a cell, the molecular machinery operating within itself is stunning. Intelligence permeates all matter it enlivens dead rock, waters, and even the air. It's a constant exchange of nutrients and information between societies of living organisms. Beyond the fight for survival, we discover God in connection and intersubjectivity.
