You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

Albert Camus. Some people do and some don’t. Some people leave it to God. It seems surprising but it may be just so, that the meaning of life is just to be alive. We take for granted simple things because the society says it is the expensive things, or abundance of things, or things that we don’t have fill our lives.

As an artist, one must rethink this clever manipulation. Don’t so immediately jump into the pool to “fish”. Step back and concentrate on values. In the long run what is going to build you up?

The smell of fresh cut wood

The feel of cotton getting ready for a homemade dress.

Kids talking at the dinner table

Fear of change overcome

What is the meaning of life?

My husband’s laughing eyes

Half mocking

Again

The kids sit at the dinner table

Talking

To me

What is the meaning of life?

I googled

Rain

Does not stop for two days straight

Home

Grown lettuce amazes

With the baby fresh green but will not feed

Hungry

And the local hospice still driven by the

Human condition

I organized my son’s room

We had tea

To the sounds

Of rain

I did not

Google

What is the meaning of life?
