I often wonder what itʼs all about.

Where is it all going?

Why all this moving?

Where is everybody going?

Then I hear the news of a man dying as a victim of senseless violence. A child has fallen in a well.

A baby is miscarried..

All of our plans...

They seem to be so important, and indeed, they are.

At least, the ones that are honorable.

Supporting our children.

Saving for a rainy day.

Adding love to the world.

But....

Where is it all going?

Was I here before?

Is this a test?

And then I step out of the house, into the sun,

And remember what it is...

to enjoy..
