Conceived and born in accordance with God's grand plan I'm thrust into a world that I don't understand, and introduced to pain. As a child, fantasy forged my reality and it left me feeling untethered and carefree, connected to nature. Curiosity fueled imagination marking my teens as a time of observation, and loss of innocence. I find the world a highly competitive place roughly divided by belief, gender, and race, all conditioned to lie. Hope found me and gave me something to hold on to, a belief and that fundamental feeling grew, blossoming into faith. My life span on this planet seems so short to me but I suspect that it only appears to be, for we're eternal souls. To me, death's a journey, not a destination, it's a natural extension of creation, life's cycle, thus complete.

In truth, the world's a highly competitive place roughly divided by belief, gender, and race, and conditioned to lie. Beautifully Written. Congratulations!

Powerful writing, Emile. When Deb found she was dying of cancer, she said, "I'm about to embark on my greatest adventure." We all anticipate that it will be such. I enjoyed your write.

Thanks, Milt, I recall a time I almost died and it felt surreal, I wasn't frightened but I was curious as to what happens next, and someday I'll find out my friend, Emile.
