Ponderings
I've spent many hours trying to reason out solutions to life and other mystery's. I've read books and they've stimulated thought, I've invented and that's opened new though patterns. I've talked to many and listened to what they said.
I've looked at the stars and wondered. I've tuned into the earth and charted it's vibration Key. I've studied society and been disapointed in all, except maybe the American Native American, but they also had their conflicts and finally fell. I've considered war, even participated, and found it useless.
I've loved and found it wonderful. I've planted the seed of life and it grew into two fine daughters and a grandson. I've been a concert entertainer and traveled the world and found it to be vain. I've lost love and found it to be painful, but not lasting.
I've tilled and planted the earth and found it rewarding. I've drank from a cool mountain stream and found it to be life giving. I've watched differnt animals and noticed that they have societies also, and realized that they also have a soul.
I've sailed the sea and it pointed out how small I was, and that man needed companionship just as the Creator decided Adam needed a helpmate. I've prospected for Gold and when I found it, gave it away because it too was vanity.
I've watched the children and they've taught me innocence by taking me back in time. My dog helped me understand loyality and forgiveness. Fish have fed me. Herbs have healed me when the Doctors only overchaged me.
I've built things with my hands and found it satisfying. I've studied Natures complexities and found nature much smarter than science. I've found it to be a living thing. I've studied time and found a generation to be only a passing thought in eternity.
But when I started to study my ownself, I found I was lacking in so many ways, because I'd spent so much time trying to understand the mysteries of the world, I'd not solved the problem of life for anyone but myself. It saddened me because I wanted to share my knowledge with others.
When I realized that most people were busy going to and fro, and didn't think beyond what was coming on television or when the next credit card payment was due, I felt a great loss. But then a voice inside of me softly pointed out that each person has to walk the path. They can live the good simple life or they can live the worldly life of dog eat dog. We all start on an equal playing field. We can play the game of life and enjoy it, learn the plays and how to reach the goal, or we can just watch from the side line until it's over.
