to touch, and be touched by others
to experience
to be struck by reality
and be present
for our feelings inspire actions
and actions can only be executed in the moment
this moment
the moment you felt your heart beat once again
It is a list of platitudes, like live each day to its fullest.
Who is this narrator to tell me what feeling and living are about. I get no revelation, no humanity.
I think the best strategy might be to take ONE platitude here and really develop it through imagery, metaphor and character.
Best of luck
