I wonder if we start out hibernating or if we all were awake and then, knowingly or unknowingly, chose to hibernate because living, being fully present with this life, can be overwhelming, terrifying, or just plain uncomfortable.

Perhaps it is good fortune to awaken and requires great courage to stay awake.
