I was sitting by a pool yesterday…
And
an ant was there by me…
Walking
back and forth…
To
and fro…
For
what? I have no clue.
I do
know that their behavior…
Means
something to them…
And
it’s what they’re meant to do.
Well,
that got me thinking…
Wouldn’t
it be nice to know from birth…
What
you’re meant to do?
I
mean, the ant doesn’t have to decide…
Do I
want to work or be lazy today?
Should
I be doing something else in life?
And
the ant wasn’t even distracted…
By
human feet walking by almost crushing it…
He
just redirected his path and continued on.
What
a concept: redirect and continue on.
I
then looked at everything around me…
Trees,
flowers, birds, a gecko, even a bee…
They
all had purpose…
All knew
from the beginning of their existence…
What
their destiny was. Without question.
None
had to ask, “Why am I here? What’s my purpose?”
Hmm?
How
peaceful not to have to question your destiny.
So?
Are
you still wondering and searching?
Have
you figured out your destiny?
And
if so…
What
helped you come to that realization?
Always,
Em-Musing

That's what we get for having free will.
I know my purpose and am at peace.
Yeah, I guess it would be nice to know what I should be doing right off the bat so I wouldn't make any mistakes. :)
For the longest time I identified with the U2 song "Still haven't found what I'm looking for." I'm a little better now.
Things were pretty clear in my personal life. But it took me a long time to realize I should write the stories in my head.
I'm still searching. Maybe I'm meant to be a searcher.
My high school journals helped me find truth in searching and writing.
Though I veered off my course for many years, I'm content with my purpose in life. Love the story/poem and I can imagine those ants and geckos. Very cute.
I agree with Shay - I've always considerred myself a searcher as well :)
