You Are Alive

frederick Beuchner - You are alive typography

“And what is it like: to be alive in this maybe one place of all places anywhere where life is? Live a day of it and see. Take any day and be alive in it. Nobody claims that it will be entirely painless, but no matter. It is your birthday, and there are many presents to open. The world is to open.”

Frederick Buechner in The Alphabet of Grace
