No, the "living well" is not a living will. Neither does living well mean living well in the common vernacular of the term. However, the living well is a living will and means living well. That's not double-talk. This will become clear as we proceed.

"Well," as used here, is similar to what we understand about "well" when we refer to a "water well" or "ink well." In both cases well is the container that holds water or ink, respectively.

Here, well is a wellspring, i.e., the source of continual supply, like unto the abstraction of an endless stream that flows ceaselessly on. From this Source life-giving and life enhancing energies and spirit-formed ideas are drawn that, when applied to livingness, advances a person toward potential living.

The process itself of drawing from the living well engenders meaning in livingness. Therefore, without achieving a goal being produces a health dividend. Let us heed this message from the Talmud: "It is not given to us to complete the task. Nor may we remove our hands from the plow."

For best result live all you can in the now. It doesn't matter what you do in particualr as long as you have your own life...as long as you are living according to your unique purpose. Your unique purpose is being authentically yourself. Being and doing are inextricably and synergistically embodied in purposeful livingness. Like the sun that in being radiates sunshine, we, in being expresses our nature in doing.

Deliberately go to the living well to have your needs and desires supplied. The living well is deep and its supply is in abundance - more than enough is available. The supply is capable of providing all you need to have full life. From this living well draw faith, hope and love. Walk by faith, keep hope alive, and give all to love.

Jesus said to the woman at the well, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that ask you for a drink you would have asked him and he would have  given you living water. ...Whoever drinks of the water that I give him will never thirst." (John 4:10 & 14). Declaring the purpose of His incarnation He said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10) Wow!
