So that the masses know
Being in a loving relationship is what makes life worth living for many people. I am not in a loving relationship, so I have to try a lot harder to make my life worth living. My attempts may ultimately prove to be inadequate, but until that day comes, I plan to keep my collar to the wind. And continue walking.
Life is a joy ride
I reckon I may not make it.
I know what my teenage years were like. I know how my twenties played out, and I am currently ticking off my thirties one year at a time. What will my forties be like? My fifties? Will I even make it to forty? Do I even want to make it?
The fact of the matter is this, I bet everything I believe in, my hopes, the value and meaning of my life as well as what is still going to make my life worth living, I bet everything on the miracle of meaningful relationships with a few other people!

This is how it is: Adam lived alone in Paradise. He thought it a good place, but he felt lonely. Then God made him a wife. And then they were happy. That is where the story should have ended.
But when they did something wrong – they ate.
From the tree.
Of knowledge.

On my way back from town, and I reckon: I will make it. Many of the people I see every day are not going to make it, but I will.
