To each their own
Decisions, decisions, decisions… life is full of them. “The Road” inspiration comes from motorcycle touring adventure in the southern Appalachian Mountains. There decisions unfold with the mountain curves and breezes. Riding airs out the soul leaving serenity in place of stress. Mountain roads and views put everything in proper perspective. Problems tend to loose their weight, leaving what’s important behind. I’m left with thoughts of God, family, friends, forests, roads, motorcycles, and bears.
Perspective, Path and Purpose…
We are all traveling a spiritual journey. We are constantly making “steering wheel” decisions. Our destination is indicated by our interaction with others which reflects our relationship with God.
Each one of us has a God given purpose. Some are called for battle. Some are called for teaching or healing. Many are called just to be a good neighbor.
Our military, firefighters and law enforcement warriors are following a high calling. They too often lose their mortal lives, limbs or mental faculties in pursuit of peace, respect, safety and security for the rest of us.
Warriors battling for good should never be taken for granted. The good neighbor warriors that lift us up, the distribution warriors that supply us with sustaining goods, the environment warriors that manage our waste, the media warriors that keep us informed of the truth, the teaching and healing warriors that help us grow and heal, the political warriors that honor the people and especially the military, fire and policing security warriors that physically protect us from evil’s many selfish schemes.
Our good and purpose driven warriors deserve far more reward from us than what they typically get. It’s regrettable that we tend to hold various performing artists of stage, screen and sports in higher regard. That tendency is a sad reflection of our culture. We are more focused on entertainment than we are well-being.
The Road We Travel
God gave each one of us independent thought. We can choose to be inspired by the abundant miracles in life we encounter or we can pick our inspiration from a perceived single endpoint of death… everything points from and to nothing. If we choose death as an end, we won’t mind lying, cheating and disrespecting others. That destructive road is well traveled.
But if we choose to focus on life, then we will want to respect others and enjoy inspiration from even the “simplest” things that God has provided.
The Road Ahead
In the above BRP image capture from my GoPro, we are heading north. North is up. Up is figuratively toward Heaven.
I see God reflected in everything.
God explains to us when we study the intricacies of life and the universe that He is beyond our understanding. God seeks us when we seek Him.
When we seek Him, He rewards us infinite times over what we deserve.
The Road Ends
God teaches us how to behave through others. God tells us that He loves us through the world we live in.
God’s signature “fingerprints” are everywhere. We learn through our own scientific study that we cannot fully understand Him nor can we explain life’s intricately designed detail without Him.
We do well to listen. ❤️
