I love your references to my favorite poets, Robert Frost and Maya Angelou, and the point you make about loving ourselves and the work we do. So important. I also love to learn. I devour good non-fiction with highlighter in hand, marking the important passages that speak to me, that I hope to remember (but seldom do). A life without loving and learning would be no life at all. Underscoring it all are reading and writing. . . Great piece, Harley. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks, Bob. I have been reading on a kindle since 2012. I discovered an app that helps you review highlights. I highlight a lot. Readwise https://readwise.io
What choices am I making? Trying to improve my attitude. At my current rate of improvement, I will have a good attitude three and a half lifetimes from now. Hoping for reincarnation. 🤠
Not sure reincarnation happens. If so, I doubt we have control. If I could choose, hmmm, maybe I would pull a Groundhog Day and reincarnate backwards in time into myself. Probably a fools errand. What do you think are your odds of living multiple lives on Earth?
If the truth is hidden from us on purpose, what purpose might it serve? What good might uncertainty do us? Would our lives be lacking some crucial ingredient if we never faced doubts or fears?

What or who are you coming back as, Tom?

Probably the same as entering heaven. Zero.

Our lives are built on doubt and fear.
