Life's Awkward Journey / Book Vine Press (ePub)

THE HUMAN CONDITION

"We get hit, we get back up. We are knocked down and we stumble to our feet. A door closes and we search for a Window with Light."

Life is an awkward journey. Who Knew? It's unexpected, sometimes unwanted, not always easy. Quite often we are hijacked by outside influences over which we have no control. Our only power will be in how we handle the confusion. There will be valleys low and mountain high, shadows and light. Emotions deep and true will be involved in this Journey of Life. Do not refuse to acknowledge them. They should not be denied. They will give you a strength and a wisdom that is based entirely on the Truths that we discover, acknowledge and uphold.

Trust will be lost by actions that come out of nowhere and it can destroy lives. Let it not be yours. Through each step, every choice, all lessons, (like a butterfly discovering its wings) the knowledge of "who am I really?" still exists. Never for one moment forget this. Know that endings and only beginnings, "Beginnings without End!" it is called the "Human Condition" and we could not exist without this.

No one ever said, "Life would be Easy." Expect it not to be. It is a learning curve and we are riding the slide to who knows where. We will require all our faculties to navigate the twisting trail placed before us. Never doubt that We can do this. We are amazingly adept. This is how we grow and learn. If we are not learning... why are we here? Questions will bombard us. Face them with Intelligence... Patience ... Grace. Answer them with the Truth you find within.

"Who Am I Really?" The answer to that question lies within you. That quest should be our Life Journey. We all will make a difference but we choose just what impact we will have. We matter, you matter, Life matters. It's as simple and as hard as that.
