    When I feel most startled, or when I feel that my life might be
    threatened.  That second or two after your car collides with another.
    When you're hiking above the treeline in a thunderstorm (Yikes!).
    When your kayak tips over in class 3 rapids and you get sucked into a
    keeper.  You feel most alive when realize that you might die.

    I feel most alive when I am aware that I am totally experiencing the 
    moment.  It is being calm and focused , knowing I am letting myself, 
    at this moment, experience the gift of life.
                                                              
    When I think this way and have no other agenda, I feel most alive.
    I am experiencing the gift of life.  Everything I see and feel is
    enhanced.
    
    
    Thanks for asking.  It was a good question.
     
     
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
      
    
    
    
      this.  It is like 
    giving yourself a gift.

    Similar to what you've expressed, I feel most alive when I am present
    in the moment, especially when I percieve it to be a loving moment and
    one in which I'm able to sense the Presence of the Divine.
