Day 7: Goals, Direction, Common Interests, Beauty
I’m coming to learn more deeply each day that sometimes all we need as human beings is the soft and sincere smile of understanding.
To be validated about our feelings, to be loved and to love, to grow in intimacy towards our fellow man…and woman
) : this is the purpose of life.
It’s within this environment of beauty, trust and love that we can truly become what we’re meant to be…much more than we can become on our own.
It’s in this air of understanding that we can breath in the clean and purifying Spirit of God. We come to know ourselves in this gentle environment. We learn of our God and of our brothers and sisters. It’s here where we can reach a state of self awareness and actualization.
You search a long time to discover your own goals. Through sharing them with others you crystallize them, reform them, build some and discard others.
When you meet people along the path of life who carry the same goals, interest and directions within their hearts, it’s almost as if your meeting was not entirely coincidental.
It’s these people that bring beauty into life. It’s these people that help make your world make sense and calm the ever constant fears that can so readily creep into our lives. It’s these people that give life richness and meaning.

Ry– beautifully said. I am not sure I followed any of the other posts. Poems and me just don’t go. But way to go on them–and I am not sure who is writing them, do you have a cowriter?? Anywho–love you.
Mind, Thanks for the comment. I’m the only one that posts. The poems are typically personal, so unless I experienced something with you and wrote about it, it’d be hard to understand, unless I explained it. No worries. LOVE YOU!
