To live versus being alive

I have way too much time as of late to contemplate my life, explore small nooks and crannies to see what is in there and where there are bricks that I can (maybe) remove without bringing the whole building tumbling down.
One thing that occurred to me during all this prodding and probing that I am live (I guess that’s good news), still breath and all that jazz, but that I am not alive.
What this means is, while I get up, eat, shit, breath etc. I am not really doing anything significant otherwise…. Okay, that is not quite true either, I do read, I started (finally) to learn Brazilian Portuguese (I need someone local here to practice with though), but at the end of the day it is like I am floating in an isolation tank of life. Not going anywhere, not moving, not hearing, not feeling….
