It was recently my birthday. Yes, turning 27 does something to your head. Luckily I am a guy so that should be fine, right? 🙂
I had the most amazing time of my life. I played basketball with my boys and i felt i hadn’t aged a day… I also look like my life has just started for me! Not too bad I must say.

All the while, it had been running through my mind. Why? How? Me? These are more philosophical than they are  anything else. The question of existence, of growing, of time, of all that is passing! I too, will have a gray beard and be bent by the heaviness of age and the world!? That is a discomforting thought!

The question of purpose, of reason and of direction. The question of Truth, of Hope , the question of  goodness…

I needn’t explicate an obviously laboring train of thought. These are the questions any decent human being would ask in their life time, right?
I wonder though, how many have found the answers. I wonder if there are aged sages that have looked far and wide and have found no meaningful answer and so to them, a consortium of wise consoling idioms and smart sayings are the triggers  of  their legacies left. The attempt to leave  a mark on a world that left marks they cared to forget!

As is with many, the answer is always under  our noses.  Right there!  We go through hell and high waters looking for what fits right and waste our lives away in all hopelessness.. yet purpose, hope, truth are right by our side.

It is the next events of my birthday, that really hit the nail in the coffin for me. I got it good! I had an epiphany . The time is now to be alive! To dream! to hope! to live!!! And live I have.
There is an answer for every man in life, and I have been fortunate to know mine.
Love.

Yes, for me, there is no greater force, no powerful potency, than the supremacy that is love!

I am a man that has been born of love, born into love, lived with love and is now in love!
And for the longest part of my very little life, I missed it! Yes! Who does that!??
Not any more! No! I took my last beating by life and turned to love. Strength purpose, hope…  they all start and end with love. and the more I understand it, the more life makes sense. The less questions there are to ask.

Love has led me to some of the most beautiful souls I know. It has enabled me to commune with the very best of humanity. To appreciate the little defects that make up a perfect mosaic of personalities and character.

I have fallen in love with the very best of humanity. The glory of creation, the crown of man..my crown. ..

… and only love could let me see her that way.

May love teach us to see.
