A PURPOSE
Life is not here for us to be happy,
that is not its purpose,
it is here to be itself,
and when we find and make a Being,
we will have found the place,
where our purpose might appear—
once we are fit to serve,
knowing then that we are more
than our purpose and also less,
being a part of something very
large, unnamed, thereby called God,
able to name us, honor us, cherish us,
as part of a greater purpose, unknown
by us, soldiers in the field of life,
struggling and yearning,
who seek self-satisfaction and happiness,
which can only be found when we know
our purpose, and enter it as ourself.
—David Kherdian
