Whatever Befalls

I hold it true, whatever befalls; I feel it, when I sorrow the most.

I have wished to understand the hearts of people.

I have wished to know why the stars shine.

Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,

But always pity brought me back to earth;

Cries of pain reverberated in my heart

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed.

Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.

This has been my life, I found it worth living.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.

A time to be born and a time to die;

A time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted;

A time to kill and a time to heal;

A time to break down and a time to build up;

A time to weep and a time to laugh;

A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.

Life is a quest.

I hold it true, whatever befalls.
