To be alive and to be free is the right of all living creatures. To be what you where called to be is the duty of all animals, even us homo sapiens. To fulfill what our Creator called us to do will give us a moment of exhiliration, an Everest of fulfillment, putting back more into the universe than we are taking out. What an accomplishment our lives will be when the world will have been better off for having us here than never having us at all. My final repose will come, it cannot be stopped. I am just a pilgrim here, travelling, just passing through, as it were, on my way back home from where I started. Hopefully when that day comes my ledger will be in the black, rather than the red, because I have done what I have been called to do, and I did it, as best I could. visionary imagist. "Joey"
