Multiple Lives in One

Spiritual prompt

First I wrote poems and prose,

Then I began to sculpt wood But exhibitions were dearer Than the money I got, And more, my guide died.

Then I became a singer in a rock band But the group couldn't hold together.

Then I became an actor But could not sustain a correct life.

One day I met Hélène Who wrote such a beautiful French And was fluent into English, Ancient and Modern Greek, Russian, Provençal, Italian, Latin, a long story that split.

Then I became a scriptwriter But stopped when my last director Died during the location scouting. Others deaths aborting other projects.

Now I come back to my first true love, A mission aligned with my soul. Thank you for these apparent dead ends, They've enriched my journey to you.
