It is said that the unexamined life is
Not worth living
But a lifetime of deep contemplation on
The biggest questions can wear you out
Sometimes, an insight breaks through, like
A luminous ray of sunshine after days of
Tempests and blackened skies
And you may realize that while Gd put us
On this planet of horrors and injustice
He also gave us a choice
The choice is like a golden key:
To choose love each and every day
Choosing love when it’s inconvenient
When the choice seems the hardest
When it may even put you in danger
And though we never reach perfection
And our thoughts and actions ride the
Stormy waves of this perplexing life
We’re capable of inflicting immense pain
Or giving enormous love
The choice is always ours
Each moment as the present flows
Into the future and its infinite possibilities
And when we choose love – especially when
Turning against it would be easier –
That’s when the light of Gd burns
Brightest inside of us
And maybe that can guide us
When the biggest questions weigh the heaviest
