What is Life?

A philosopher uncle I met,

this question he shot,

What is the meaning of life?

It is not easy,

It is deep like Ocean,

There is no single, definite answer.

But one purpose of life, I believe,

is to enjoy the journey

while living in harmony,

For example,

watching the bees on rosemary,

gathering honey,

not dwelling on our own agony.

Helping fellow passengers

on this mortal path,

trying to reduce their pain,

and, in doing so,

finding our own,

purpose and zen.

Savoring the spectacles,

of the natural world,

and extending compassion,

is the core of it all,

I strongly feel.
