At this evening hour... An account, a story read of another’s life that
ended all too soon… The story presents the person's own questioning of his life
so young, so wanting, to be facing an imminent death due to the ravages of
cancer...he, himself a neurosurgeon in residency, questioned what was life
itself, its purpose, its pain, its vision, its faith... and so in reflection...
JOURNEY
BE there the impasse
the intersection
of words
of biology
of physics
of philosophy
of behavior
of aspiration
in an ever present questing journey…
BE I the questions, the exploration, the
journey of mind
BE I the daughter, the wife, the mother,
the journey of role
BE I the teacher, the
therapist, the journey of service
BE I the activist, the advocate, the
journey of vision
BE I the poet, the artist, the journey
of expression
BE I SELF known, the journey of
liberation
BE I AM known, the journey of TRUTH.
BE there the impasse
the intersection
of words
of biology
of physics
of philosophy
of behavior
of aspiration
in an ever present questing journey…
