Life

I often ask myself what is the purpose of life.
I often wonder what lies beyond our life.
Faith and science might have answers to these questions,
But my brain still keeps wondering.

Why am I here?
And where do I go from here?
While I am here, how do I deal with my reality
Or what I perceive as reality?
My brain keeps wondering, time keeps passing
And slowly I move towards my end.


I once came across this quotation that said
“The point of life is not to arrive at your grave safe and sound,
But to skid in sideways, out of control screaming, 'Whoa...What a ride!'"
I liked it, I kept it on my computer,
And I read it sometimes just to keep me going.


The ride of life is sometimes smooth,
Sometimes bumpy,
Making us question life itself.
Nevertheless, we must still take pleasure in living our life.


Life is like clay;
We can give it whatever shape we want;
We can mold it into a creative work of art;
The more creative we are, the better it looks.


To me,
life is a gift,
A precious gift,
That we must celebrate every single day
Good things in life don't come quite often,
But if we learn to recognize and acknowledge them,
Then we will be headed for a wonderful ride

L’homme que je suis

Longtemps j’ai cogité
Sur l’essence profonde
De l’humain qui m’habite

En moi j’ai retrouvé
Moult facettes plaisantes
Toutes alliées en tout temps

J’aime
Ce garçon en moi
Qui trouve du plaisir
Dans les jeux les plus simples

J’aime
Ce fou en moi
Qui parfois n’obéit
A aucune norme sociétale

J’aime
Cet homme en moi
Parfois sérieux, parfois blagueur
Mais qui sait en temps idoine
Trouver la juste mesure

J’aime,
L’humain que je suis
Unique et complexe
Simple et captivant
Paradoxe de création
Dans cet univers divers

J’aime
Mon être profond
Car je suis ce je suis
Un homme tout simplement
