Life Is:

ByMatthew

beautiful, amazing, challenging, rewarding, what you make it, fantastic, boring, excellent, fun, exciting, the sum of our choices so far, breathtaking, dull, to be savored, tough, just what we see, just too busy, pre-destined, much more than meets the eye, simple, complex, easy, hard, to be endured, for our enjoyment, a series of challenges, easy, endless opportunities, demanding, incredible, hum-drum, disappointing, miraculous, mundane, pre-determined, wonderful, marvelous, joyous, awe-inspiring, just a series of problems, nothing to worry about, all there is, just a phase, for us to create, painful, good, what our souls have been waiting for, too hard, not what I thought it was going to be, more than I could have hoped for, a gift . . .

[This post is an experiment that I wanted to share. I am in the process of writing an eBook and the above is one approach I am thinking of for the introduction. Your comments and feed-forward are welcome and encouraged.]
