Life is... Expression?

So here's an interesting way to think about life or existence - spontaneous or instantaneous existence.  Think like saying, all we or anything ever is, is a bunch of atoms and electric currents and other stuff, at any given right meow.  Existence would then be an infinite sequence of infinitesimally small... let's say frames or moments.  Anyways.

I would argue that consciousness, one of the major ideas centered around our thoughts on life and the debate of a soul, is a... vessel of and for expression.  I think those words are about right.  I like this because if you broaden your ideas of expression, you may say that a reaction is an expression of an action, like saying a flower growing is the expression of it's chloroplasts doing their job right.

As far as people go, I find it much more fascinating to apply this lens to, well, anything.  Even in choosing not to speak, act, or react, it is still a form of expression.  Abstinence of something can be an expression towards or about something.  Communication, which is important to all kinds of animals, is about utilizing different means of expressions to convey an idea or invoke an instinct or emotion.

Communication, Expression, and even Perspective(through Expression), are all incredibly intertwined.  So I think it might go something like this - from a need to Communicate, Expression... occurs.  Expression is an interaction between to entities(Expresser and Expressee(even if the Expressee is never truly existent)) and in such gives way to Perspective, which is the lens through which we understand Expressions.

So I guess maybe Existence is Communication, Expression is Life, and Perspective is Consciousness.  I like to think that your Perspective is your personal context applied to your personal experience, as a frame of reference for what you are perceiving(expression you're interpreting).  Anyways, I'll leave it off here and stop the late-night philosophy.
