Thoughts about this life

Life is a series lessons, not a series of tests. There may be a pop quiz now and then or crossroads were we to stop and look back. We can see what kind of student we are. Maybe we see ourselves as a victim taking a course that we cannot remember signing up for.
As we discover answers we can sometimes also discover more questions to ask. Is this because we are asking the wrong questions to begin with? Maybe we ask questions where the answers are beyond our understanding in this life. I would like to believe that it is all arranged by angels but I cannot prove this theory one way or the other. I can just believe it to be true for myself.
On this cold but beautiful day , I stood behind my dear friend and his wife as they lowered their baby girl into the earth. If there was an answer to their "why?" I'm sure it would not be much more comfort then they received from family and friends who were most likely asking the same question.
How can we move forward when faced with a crossroad of this magnitude. In any direction we choose, there is a guarantee of pain and pleasure joy and sorrow. This goes for everyone and there are no exceptions. Knowing that may offer some comfort. The paths we choose can collide or merge with others on their life's journey. We can choose to remain close or far away as we travel. If we remain close, we can celebrate the joys just as we can comfort or receive comfort through the pain. This is the recipe we call life. We can also call it love, but only if we let one another know that they are not alone.

  1. Words of wisdom, and a vision of fore-thought. These are why I call you 'Mentor', and ultimately, friend.
