The Suggestion

Part of living life to the fullest is realizing that everything matters.

 "You get married,

a child is born or not born,

in the middle of tthe night there is a knocking at the door,

on the way home through the park you see a man feeding pigeosn

all the tests come in negative and the doctor gives you back your life again;

Incident follows incident

helter-skelter leading apparently nowhere,

but then once in a while there is a suggestion of purpose,

meaning,

direction,

the suggestion of a plot,

The suggestion that, however clumsily, your life is trying to tell you something,

take you somewhere."
