The Road Called Life
Life has one demand:
for you to know it.
And the only way to do this
is through lived experience.
What you learn by living your life
is what you will know about life.
Though you may try heroically,
you can never know everything.
And it is only through suffering
you may become empathetic to others.
Some say you must be love
in order to share your love.
I say you are created by love
and must find the source of your being
to become regenerative love.
There are two checkpoints
along the road called life.
The first is birth and the second death.
Notice how life extends through,
and beyond both of them.
“If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.”
