The Path We Choose

It is not so much the life we choose but the live we are chosen to live it is but a time we 
spend on earth trying to make what has been chosen for us into something we ourselves 
design. When in fact we should embrace this gift we have been given and experience 
rather than live it. So much time is spent on projections of what should and what could 
have been, we neglect to enjoy the very essence of being. And so, I have come to believe 
in the divine providence in as much all I can do to alter my existence will surely not change 
the outcome. So, it is now that i begin my journey in Ernest to the conclusion of my time 
here on earth knowing there is far greater joy in embracing this wonderful experience with 
the wonder and amazement of a child rather than to defy it with the painful cynicism of time.
