The Engraved Text:

To live in and be surrounded by the world and not be smothered, overwhelmed, crushed, outdone by it.

The beauty, the sadness, the emotions, the solid and the abstract nous that we are and that this life is.  

To breathe in, breathe out, and stand toe to toe with et al, ad nauseam, and ad infinitum.
