a + b =c

There's a book on my borrowed nite-stand. It's entitled The Meaning of Life. I'm tempted to find out the answer.


What if life was that simple? What if instead of Science, Social Studies and Math we took The meaning of life, Being cool, How to not get your heart broken, etc. Would that take all the "fun" out of the lessons learned along the way?


I'm often caught searching for that quick explanation and answer. To become this way I need to do "this", I feel this way because of "this". Oddly enough, I'm discovering that a quick explanation isn't always right, or moreover it's only a glimpse into a larger reality. "Life's a dance you learn as you go?"...maybe so. Or maybe, life's a dance you learn as you let go. Let go my desire to control, understand, and be in sole charge of. Actually, it's sort of refreshing when I re-realize that my little brain can't come up with the answers and meaning to everything. There's something freeing about that. Knowing that ultimately, He is the only one who has that all figured out.
