An Elusive Purpose

We each have a purpose...

At times, by design alone,
are we meant to sacrifice
our priorities in order to
seek out our station in life?

If and only if we achieve an
epiphany, do we finally
capture that purpose?

How much of ourselves must we give?
How many cycles shall we go through
until we finally have our answers?

I propose that as we all continue
on our journey, that we allow
ourselves the gift of healing
our broken identities...

Therefore we can slowly disrupt
our grandiose and arrogant
perspectives.. To make room to
claim our right to this rich life.

Then our purpose is freely ours
for the taking..

So go forward and inspire change
in others, and experience purpose
of such magnitude, that it humbles
you to your knees...
