about

'We are life looking at itself' is a quote from spiritual leader Thich Nhat Hanh. I interpret this as the dual capacity to be fully engaged in this world while simultaneously being the equanimous observer.
If this piece were to have lyrics, here they are:

We Are Life Looking At Itself
lyrics by T. Coleman

We are life
looking at itself
in a state of reflection
wondering

We are sound
listening to ourselves
tuning our frequencies
to songs of life

We are paintings
watching the light
merge in hues
of red and gold

We are words
seeking truth
on a worldly stage
of illusion

We are emotion
from sadness to joy
crying and laughing
in blood soaked bliss

We are body
fluid and flesh
statues for spirit
to animate

We are mind
contemplating self
advancing the cause
of dark and light

We return
once again
to fight and love
we are human

We are life
looking at itself
in a state of reflection
wondering
