Being self-aware, trying to understand the meaning of life,
or finding philosophical truths in the human condition can sometimes be
life-changing - other times it can be burdensome. We seem to find our deepest worth in our intimate
understandings and our insignificance by seeing beyond ourselves and observing
the vastness of the universe. But those
moments we find ourselves in-between are the moments we enter into an
existential crises –a moment when we experience the complexity and beauty of
humanity.
God, I’m amazed that among the hate, the struggle, the
fighting, the bickering, the posturing, the judging, and the surviving are
those beautiful moments of amazing love, joy, peace, and beauty - laughter and
tears - hope and fear. Being alive in the world we truly do experience both
Heaven and Hell… right here, right now, from one moment to the next.
Love. The most
powerful force in the universe – the thing that defines us most – the passion
that drives us – the hope that fills us – the mystery that eludes us – the desire
we crave most. It alone builds us or tears us down.
Love one another.
Love me. Let me love you back.
Till next time,
~T.L. Gray
Another beautiful thought, TL. Always the philosopher.
