"I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life ..."
John 14:6
______________________________

life has taken me on a journey-
endless with happiness but laced with downs
I have knocked on the gates of Heaven twice now
and been turned away . . .
and been left asking but what is my purpose and reason

when one is faced with death, as I was-
suddenly the things collected and thought of as treasures
are just meaningless stuff-   very unimportant
having things is not happiness . . . 
for without a purpose-  life is trivial, petty and pointless

I now see difficulties and failures- 
as not things to destroy me but as lessons to learn
that to keep moving forward has meaning . . . 
to share, to be kind, and to help has direction
that to love with all my heart and accept life brings peace

the day I could sit totally alone-
calm in silence and do nothing was when it happened 
I found my reason and God given gift . . . 
it washed over me like a cool waterfall in the sun
that day I picked up my pen with purpose

that is the day-   I began living a life of meaning . . .
