I turn 35 today

I turn 35 today.

Reflecting on the life that has passed me by, it worries me a little that I may yet have another 35 years more to go. I have, on many occasions, prayed that I may live a short life, and secondly, that the life I lived had been purposeful and meant something. I am not at all certain that either prayer will be granted.

When I think about it, there is really nothing much left to do here on Earth. The ageing body stands incongruant with the unchanging spirit within, and days pass into years, that separation becomes more pronounced. How I wish it would soon be severed.

I possess very little, low in stature, no wealth to speak of, and no family of my own. In my deepest anguish, I feel that existence has been forced upon me and I am doomed to live my life accomplishing hidden purposes that I know not.


I sum up that life is similar to the parable of the Energizer Rabbit. We wont stop going until our battery runs out. Where we go is not the point.
