Endure...

In this life I've come to understand that one can accept an end to a thing one has fought for when all options have truly been exhausted and can be done so with the peace of mind of one that has truly tried. Yet to quit when you can still fight is a concept that is anathema to my soul. Thankfully so...

In this very hour there are souls that lay in hospital beds with the option to fight but lack the will to do so. The products of an over-run life whose candles are flickering from exhaustion. Flickering from pain and bondage they cannot kick. Pray for them. That their candles receive the needed burst of fuel to outlast and overcome. That they be reminded that life is meant to live. That no matter how bad things get, another breath is always worth fighting for. Another breath affords you another chance to hug your child. Another chance to make amends. Another day to find the newness of love. Things are never as bad as they seem so long as their is life.

No matter how bad things can get, I can never accept the reasoning why one would consider ending their lives before the fullness of it had manifest.  Or how retirement would mean an end to exploration.  As though having seen much is enough.  The truth is those of us that had lived a full life should know better than that as we are the stubborn types that dig finding treasure only to find that beneath that treasure, their is another layer of surface to break through for even greater treasure.  It just doesn't end and a lifetime is not enough to see and know it all but it's a choice we all have to make when we are faced with our mortality.  Do we fight for it or surrender it easy?  I choose to fight and this is why when I say "I will live forever..."...I mean it.

Pray for them...I'm out
