What is this current that is always here and now, never gone, even when we are deeply engaged in a project or profoundly upset? Even when we are asleep? Something always notices.

We might describe this something-that-isn’t-a-something as electric, or alive–but when I look deeply, it has no qualities at all. And yet, it is undeniably present.

That’s what we are. And it’s not personal.
