Everyday life creeps on and ends another day follows and life happens but what does it all mean for self and others is it about championing a cause, an issue fighting for justice for all, or praying making an imprint for humanity’s betterment waking day by day struggling to make sense of it all watching some die, no meaning to life found others struggle to end their life, with no hope in sight anguish rips some apart looking at humanity hurting people hurt other people, young and old pain does not discriminate but inflicts what’s in its path thus becoming another wounded soul whose hurt may travel near and far for days, weeks, months, and even years the real meaning of life escapes so many, if not all while looking in the mirror, trying to figure it out what is reality, what is time, is it real or an illusion questions, questions after questions hunts the soul life is simply living in the now, the beauty and the ugly that is the reality but do not succumb but triumphant never stop praying, believing, hoping, and keep the faith just as bad happens quickly, good may do the same life is a miracle and miracles do unfold daily God can change things very quickly in your life even at the ninth hour or seconds before, be steadfast life’s meaning is in each other and each other in another we are all connected soul and spirit, like the air we breathe why must evil take a life senselessly, Shinzo Abe, is gone too soon!
