The Road Not Yet Traveled
Seneca, 1st Century Philosopher:
“Yes indeed, I shall use the old road, but if I find a better one I shall open it up. Those who pioneered the old routes are our leaders, not our masters. Truth lies open to everyone. There is yet to be a monopoly of truth. And there is plenty of it left for future generations.”
For the rest of your life you will walk “The Road Not Yet Traveled.” It is Your Road and it belongs only to you. It may include those you invite to join. But it is still a solitary road, because it it yours alone. The “search for meaning” road.
Walk with awe and wonder, always curiously anticipating what’s around the bend.
Oohlala!

You Matter
O, Creator
I look at your heavens,
which you made with your fingers.
I see the moon and stars,
which you created.
But why are people even important to you?
Why do you take care of human beings?
You made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor.
Is mankind the most important creation in the universe? Yep. Of course not. Really… who knows? More important… who cares?
The fact that we can even ask such a question is a sign of how honored we are to be made just a little lower than angels? I’m amazed that I can actually ponder and search for meaning in this vast universe. How cool is it to wonder: what’s is all about?
Such ponderings give me all the excuse I need to fully embrace as much of life as I possibly can. And if I can help someone else do the same then I will have truly lived meaningfully!
