Buddha says life is suffering.  And as statements go,  that one has a lot going for it. 
But life is also alive. It is also joy. And this aspect of life seems to win somehow. Little by little. Like the tip of a wave cresting toward the shore instead of away. The thing tilts in our favor, bringing things to us. New surprises at our feet. New shells to wonder at.
Otherwise, by some mathematical law somewhere, we should be long gone.  Little by little, even great blocks of marble should be chipped and chiseled to dust.  Yet, here we stand like King David, created in the image of God.
