Truth be told I am not the smartest or prettiest or kindest person. I am not the most perfect or broken, not the most curious or safe.

I am one who asks. Who am I? Why am I here? What must I do?

I ask and get an answer from everyone. "You are here to make money." "You are here to help others." "You are here to serve deities." "You are here because an explosion made cells."

I have found that each of these answers have not fed my hunger for knowing. But I have found answers from someone. Oh, yes I have found answers.

The answer to life is found within. You are what life is. You are the definition. What you make your life to be; that is living.

One of my favorite quotes comes from the movie 'The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao.'

"Let me tell you something. The whole world is a circus if you know how to look at it. The way the sun goes down when you're tired, comes up when you want to be on the move. That's real magic. The way a leaf grows. The song of the birds. The way the desert looks at night, with the moon embracing it. Oh, my boy, that's... that's circus enough for anyone. Every time you watch a rainbow and feel wonder in your heart. Every time you pick up a handful of dust, and see not the dust, but a mystery, a marvel, there in your hand. Every time you stop and think, "I'm alive, and being alive is fantastic!" Every time such a thing happens, you're part of the Circus of Dr. Lao. "

What I make of my life is to help others live a life full of wonder. That is why I create. That is why I write even if it is just on my computer. If I can help one person who has had a bad day again and has become too world weary to care about life, I count my life as important even if it is a minor role.

I apologize if you think this speech doesn't speak to you, but if I can inspire one person then I am one who is great.

If you would like to talk to me about anything or you have any questions, I may not be that brilliant or have your answers but I will try.

"If just one person believes in you. Deep enough, and strong enough, believes in you. Hard enough, and long enough before you knew it, Someone else would think, if he can do it, I can do it. Making it two." - 'Just One Person' from 'Snoopy!!! the Musical'
