WAITING FOR ETERNITY

I. I am. I am waiting. We are.

An orphan, a prisoner of time

Waiting for the end, the punchline

The answer to the BIG question

“Why did I bother?”; tssk tssk, cynicism

Becomes you not; look around, look at what

You’ve got. Your hopes and ambitions are not spent or wasted

The potential for something wonderful is still alive

The big question! “For what purpose/reason am I here?”

Answers? Answers are not found in heavy-bound books

Theological tomes, philosophical debates (on second thoughts

The latter can be an interesting source of material, choose wisely)

We spend our lives searching, asking, inquiring, experimenting

Trying this, trying that; putting on this, that; a gown, a jacket, a hat

Why? Does it give a sense of purpose? A reason to carry on?

One out of ten ain’t bad. We spend our lives seeking what to believe in

Why? Beliefs become embedded in our self-talk, that which exists in our mind

Like a reel going round and round, acting as the basis for our actions

Two out of ten? Purpose, beliefs, reasons, actions, thoughts (mental processes)

The physical health, well-being to achieve (six out of ten), determination (to succeed)

Spontaneity (to enjoy life), gratitude (for all we have, we get), and appreciation

(of natural beauty and aesthetics) [makes ten? Jolly hockey sticks!] Hoorah

Are we an orphan, a prisoner of time

Waiting for the end, the punchline

The answer to the BIG question: “Why did I bother?”

Shame on you. What can you see? The cosmos

Eternity, waiting to claim us back; we. comprised
