We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This holy reality, this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.
Alive
This holy reality, this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion...
Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

I love this song. The first eight minutes are dedicated to teaching the listener how to be present in the current moment; just to be alive and breathing in this holy experience. We're taught to appreciate now for what it is: a holy experience that we often take for granted. Then at the end, Maynard walks off stage and lets the listener take in the final ballad as one single, holy moment. The video specifically demands you give this final moment all of your attention, but all of life is a holy experience. It's not until we stop to be mindful does it's true nature shine and we remember who we are and what we're doing here.
