If you make a positive difference to someone else’s life, it is enough.
If you step forward to help strangers with no concern for your own time, safety or resources; welcome the lonely to your table or remain present for someone as the world abandons them; bring cheer to the forlorn, direction to the lost or inspiration to the despondent; hold the hand of the anxious, walk into the darkness with those who fear or cause hard, stony hearts to soften; if you are a loving parent, a loyal friend or a faithful partner; if you find your happiness in others’ well being - what more do you need to accomplish in this lifetime?
You have already become like those songs that bring tears to lovers’ eyes, a flash of beauty, a cause for celebration, the delight of gods and humans, a beacon blazing in the night.
