i was reminded
that life
is at least half full
and often at the brim.

Surface tension remarkable at the brim. Without it there would be no life on this planet.

Most definitely and when it overflows, it can get messy so it’s best to have a straw handy.

And that reminds me of George Carlin’s ““Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I see a glass that’s twice as big as it needs to be.” Which is funny, but also a profound truth.
