"He spent his life wrestling with the realities of making a living and following his personal calling to a life of poetry, literature, and thought." Now that line was new to me and very relevant to my current situation, as was the following quote in the letters section of last weeks weekly newspaper. "There's three things that we were born to do with the human being and that is to seek our creator, to serve humanity and to stand on our own legs." --Kerpal Singh 25 Jun 2004 @ 05:18 by newdawn : for some reason this poem has been going around in my head for some time, in particular "you are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars you have a right to be here and whether or not it is clear to you the Universe is unfolding as it should"... Perhaps this is just my subconscious trying to let me know that everything is OK and on target what ever that may be and that as a child of the Universe I am in fact being looked after and all my needs and wants are being met so that I can continue my life to do that which I have come here to do.
