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…
