In the void and the abyss I echoed against the unknown and myself. What is my purpose? What is my meaning? What is my life? I contemplated these questions many lifetimes, acting through greed, following on selfishness, and I believed that abundance meant success.
Yet fear followed me every step of my journey, and emptiness crept into my heart. On my path I had come to hurt many, and without knowing it, I too hurt myself. My feet had come to bleed over the endless miles I kept running. Where was I going? Who can say. I only knew I wished to run away. From fear, and from doubt.
The great gift is knowledge, the great miracle, mercy. The great act is love. To know these things was to draw those elements closer into my heart. The closer it came, the more a part of me passed away. Another life, another chance, another choice.
Ah...you were there beside me all along were you not..? We were there, together all along.
