“We are put here to help each other. Otherwise, why?”
Kerry

__________________________________________________
why am I here?
to perform?
to be the “wise man”?
the helper, the healer?
am I here to find fame and fortune?
to accomplish?
to establish my place in the universe?
nothing wrong with
degrees
success
nothing wrong with making things happen,
being a “doer”
but seriously!
all that at best is a means to an end
lest we forget (and we do forget)
it all comes down to being - to being one’s self,
and being present
it is all about
being awake to the sacred (a necessary first step)
being awake to one’s self (a necessary second step)
and finally awake to those around you
seeing them
and then being there
to listen
to witness
to care
about all the pain and misery
we find
not to fix it
but to hold it
gently
all of it
that pain, that fear
even the joy
because being there for one another
is
everything
