The Echoes of Life

The Echoes of Life
Standing in the middle of the universe seeking
the meaning of life,
I silently listen to the echoes of the world;
I heard two distinct voices expressing the meaning of life.
From the distorted heart, I heard:
Life is hopeless, full of disappointments and heartache.
Life is worries, doubt, fear, and anxiety.
Life is depressing, hateful, ugly, wickedness, and unfair.
Life is imperfect, full of brokenness, weeping, agony, and crying.
Life is natural, disasters, and destruction.
Life is begging, chasing, and hunting.
Life is learning, filled with illusions, unorganized and emotional.
Life is approval, seeking, heartbeat, and music.
Life is a journey, filled with drama and uncertainty.
From the blissful heart, I heard:
Life is hopeful, believing, and trusting.
Life is good, full of assurance.
Life is graceful, loving, cherishing, and full of happiness.
Life is beautiful, lively, and blissful.
Life is living, spiritual, and inward.
Life is sacrifice, giving, encouraging, and receiving.
Life is application, testing and result.
Life is reality, certainty, and melody.
Life is a destination, supernatural, and eternal.
In the end, I realized, helped by wisdom, that the world’s echoes of
life are not the meaning of life.
Rather, they are mere expressions of life.
Definition of life through the eyes of the world projects:
Life is whatever you want it to mean to you;
Because life comes with a gift of choice.
And, every situation comes with a timeline;
For nothing really lasts forever.
What is life in reality?
