To be, or not to be…we all face life-changing challenges; those events that make us question who we really are…
“To be, or not to be: that is the question…” (excerpt from “To Be Or Not To Be,” Spoken by Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1, by William Shakespeare)
To Be Or Not To Be
To be or not to be;
a strange thing to ponder; is it not?
The choices we make, the consequences they wrought;
does what we do make a difference, or is it all for naught?
To be or not to be;
a complicated question indeed.
To live our lives for ourselves, to make a way of our own;
or to live for others, serving them, providing all that they need.
To be or not to be;
is the whole concept more than that?
What we do, is not who we are, why do we do what we do?
To make a living, to find meaning, is that where it’s at?
To be or not to be;
will we ever know what it is all about?
The meaning to life, what each one of us is here for;
surely there is an answer, keep on searching and you’ll find out.

“Now we see a blurred image in a mirror. Then we will see very clearly. Now my knowledge is incomplete. Then I will have complete knowledge as God has complete knowledge of me.” 1 Corinthians 13:12
May you “be” today, all that you are meant to be.
Peace and love,
