It is not enough for me to ask a question;
I want to know how to answer the one question
that seems to encompass everything I face:
What am I here for?

We can, of course, answer all our questions. But only if we are willing to put down the wrong answers.
I have a suspicion that this is the wrong question --- it assumes that we are here for a purpose, and I think that that may turn out to be a bit of an anthropocentric point of view: the reason that we are here is that we wouldn't notice us if we were not.
That said, I like to give myself a purpose, or purposes: goals, dreams, meaning. More on these perhaps another time, at another blog.

A light question for the morning:-)?
Oh, and the photograph is stunning....
Breadbox.....Anthropocentric eh? Well, that's a word worth a couple of loonies. I agree with you, the answers most likely would be centered on cute little insignificant peeps like us, but if we tried to broaden our thinking beyond our world, maybe our answers would surprise us.
ps. the photo? thank you. it reminded me of impressionism....always a few steps away from stark reality.
Matthew....now that it's afternoon, can I ask it? Or better yet, got any answers?
such a beautiful picture!
if you find an answer let us know too
i'm tired of thinking of this
thinking of giving it up now :)
Heschel might state that we should live our lives as a work of art. Maybe some of the answer is found in the life art we create because art allows us to think and feel beyond ourselves by using our God given gifts.........our lives are part of God's canvas?
I'd say that your later post tonight has given us a piece of your answer: to bring a breath of fresh air to those suffocating.
N.
I hope we all do. In this case, she had found her own air, thank God.
ah, where would we be with dear Abraham.....what wisdom - simple, beautiful and profound
