Life is what happens between physical birth and physical death. Living is how you choose to interact with all of creation between those same two points. Quote by Bill Baker

Life, birth, interaction here on Earth; death reincarnation then life.

Bill Bill Bill. Hi. You allow the reader to pause with your ending line which we all reflect on our own life. Yes, life is life and living is living. May we all live which we are sill alive. Thank you for sharing your skilled talent. Have a wonderful night and weekend. Peace and Blessings now and always. (smile)

Bill, one of my favorite quotes from Lao tzu is, "It's better to travel well than reach the end." You've expressed this well. Thanks

...And it is how we will be remembered, Bill, how we dealt. Wise quote, then, enhanced in your Monoku! Be well, from Cal, ~Anaya

Thank you for the visit and mindful comment, Anaya. My main thought before writing this monoku was, how we choose to experience life on earth is how we express our gratitude to our Creator for the give of life. It is also how we will be remembered by mankind. Have a pleasant day, my friend. Bill
