“Life is a song – sing it.  Life is a game – play it.  Life is a challenge – meet it.  Life is a dream – realize it.  Life is a sacrifice – offer it.  Life is love – enjoy it.”     ~ Sai Baba

How are we living our lives?  Are we going from one day to the next in a survival mode?  Are we focusing our energies on the fear of what lies ahead?  Or, are we living our lives in the wonder of each moment with gratitude in our hearts for all that we have?

Life, for all of us, is filled with moments of love, joy, and celebrations, as well as, challenges, and sorrow.  To live life is to experience all of these things and more.  Would we give up all of our moments of love and joy to not have to face the challenges or the sorrow?   When we are in the throws of our grief, we might say “yes”, but when the distance of time is added, most of us would say “never”.

Life is a journey and we were meant to experience “all” of it.  Would we even be able to know what joy is, if we had not had moments of sorrow?  Would we be as thrilled and happy when we finally found the answer to a difficult problem, if we were not challenged to meet it?  We could not even feel grief, if there had not first been love.

Life truly is a song that we could be singing,  a game that we could be playing, with dreams we could be pursuing.  Life is truly love.  When we freely share the gifts of our hearts with each other, there is an unending supply of love to be given.  Let us celebrate the wonder of life and the beauty of who we really are;  a light that shines forth in the darkness, our humanity.
