You fall out of your mother's womb,
you crawl across open country under fire,
and drop into your grave.
~Quentin Crisp
And this we should be grateful for? The answer plain and simple, yes!
Perhaps Mr. Crisp left us with a very sarcastic view of our existence or perhaps he was a bit cynical. Need to know more of when he used this and how it was meant.
But the quote does give much meaning to those who choose to crawl through life. Those who crawl through life with little purpose, little meaning doing what they think life should be and not written goals. Why would anyone choose to do that. Ignorance? Lack of focus on a much bigger picture? Lack of faith?
No - life is meant to be lived with a passion in it. We should never crawl or grovel over life. We should be passionate and full of wonder of what will come out of the next step.
Life is meant for living, not just existence.
Hey I understand all to well that life does throw you a high fast ball and yes sometimes you will feel true grief maybe even frustration.
But the pain of life will leave lessons and you will at some point understand the message and lesson. Life and its failures will leave clues that point to success.
We all can lift are head to the heavens and ask the question 'Why me Lord'
and we should but after we ask it, we should be quiet and still and listen for the answer. It will come..... We all have a purpose in life and even when life has given you that high fast ball, try to get out the way of it.
But......
If it does happen to hit and it may, understand that this too shall pass.
Turn to prayer for guidance.
Turn to gratitude for the many blessings that we all truly have.
Turn to laughter because you know understand that you 'should have ducked'
Love and laughter and smiles sent to you this day : )
