Simplicity as it Relates to the Question of Purpose

I was asked of Immortality and purpose.

Immortality is an incredible journey

of discipline, will, and grace

you must find in the mind-heart

as an uncommunicable

deeply personal simplification within..

Purpose though, is truly simple.

Being manifest and of the mind

and pithed and stripped

to a dialectic unadorned:

either life has meaning or it doesn’t.

If It doesn’t, it doesn’t.

If it does, it does.

If it doesn’t matter, then it doesn’t matter.

If it does matter, then it does matter.

So, we might as well live life as if it matters,

because if it doesn’t, it doesn’t matter.

Thus, in simplicity,

it becomes we who

can chose give this life

meaning, reverence, and purpose.
