Life Is

life is a mystery to be lived
and not a problem to be solved

life is an unfolding drama
live it not out of your fears 
but rather on faith

life is lived forward
but only understood backwards

life is not a bowl of cherries
and it is serious and mysterious

life is an uncertain path
on an uncharted course
with an unknown future
