On: Half My Life is Over and The Birth of Book Two

So, like if I live to be 96, my life is half over.  Which is kind of heavy because I remember when 26 seemed old, and two years seemed an eternity.  Now a decade can fly by at the bat of an eye. 

So what am I going to do about it?

For starters, I am going to drink in the physical beauty around me as opposed to striving to be physically beautiful.  I pray my actions will be beautiful:  That I will love others to the best of my ability and treasure time. And in so doing, I am going to live as if my life is not half over, but half begun. 

And so the birth of  The Parables of Ancient Earth — The Second Scroll:  The Cyclops of Calidron causes me to reflect.    So far the trilogy has been a nine year project = almost the bat of an eye.  And yet…it has become a decade long project.

So what drives me to continue this project?

What drives me to continue, is my prayer that once my heart no longer beats, I can still comfort other hearts.  That not even knowing or ever meeting someone, I can encourage them.  That having lived an imperfect and unworthy life, I can point to the One who has made me worthy.  And in so doing, when I pass from this world, I can leave behind love.
