The Question

I wrote "The Question" six years ago (below). It is interesting to see where life has taken me, or, should I say, I have taken my life, since then.

A question looms large in my mind, a question my heart and soul already know the answer to and must now convince my mind of. This question is the question of a lifetime. It is the question I must answer from somewhere deep within.

Shall I go Or shall I stay?


Shall I go and pursue my destiny, or shall I stay to walk the path that leads only to the accumulation of years and “things”? This is the question.

Shall I go?

It is a heady question. It is a question that tugs at my heart. Yet it is a question whose answer is already known to me at the deepest level of my being.

I must go.

I must walk the earth in search of the divine within myself, within the peoples of the earth, and within the earth and universe itself.

I shall go.

A caged animal knows no greater sorrow than that experienced each moment it spends in captivity. It is this sorrow that brings me to such painful depths within myself as transcends the telling; it is a sorrow that bruises the soul with its relentless assault on the very nature of my being.

When one is descended of Vikings and explorers, one must follow his heart into the world or forever be the caged lion. When a heart and soul are big and expansive, to be caged in a life of sedentary mediocrity and mundane routine bleeds that heart and soul until it becomes a lifeless shell housing a wayward being.

I shall go, because I have to go. It is my calling.

Spike has Moved Blogs

I am moving my Blog from Eponym to Blogger due to changes at Eponym. I will be writing more frequently as things begin to settle down in my life. I hope I can share some useful insights with whoever is out there.

See you all soon.
