Life and Jah are one in the same. Jah is the gift of existence. I am in some way eternal, I will never be duplicated. The singularity of every man and woman is Jah's gift. What we struggle to make of it is our sole gift to Jah. The process of what that struggle becomes, in time, the Truth. ↗

Or you may end up in some business ofice, throwing paper clips at the nearest stenographer. ↗

— J.D. Salinger
