Meaningful to Behold

Man exists between the polarities of the meaningful and that which is not meaningful.
Our quest and our striving is for what we believe to be significant. To know that we are spending our life dedicated to what is meaningful to behold — is intrinsically satisfying. It gives peace. The recognition that we are failing or have failed in this endeavor — is disturbing to the soul. Perhaps a mid-life crisis arises from a man’s assessment of his life and finding it lacks existential substance.

Life is of such vastness that we can find meaning in innumerable ways and life choices. The artists way of creating genuine beauty — is significant. The scientist who discovers ways of healing and saving lives — will fall asleep peacefully at the end of the day. The journalist dedicated to the dissolution of deceit ( we would like to see more of those) will feel s/he is doing the right thing.

Beauty, healing and truth are dimensions that contain innumerable compartments that offer us ways to live a life that is meaningful to behold.

All we have to do is wake up one morning and choose to act on the deepest whispers of our soul. If we can learn to listen to those whispers, I believe they will guide us to living a life of beauty, healing and truth so that we can fall asleep at night feeling we have spent the day well. At the end of the day that is what we all need to know.
