I'm someone who believes in God on and off. But I do believe in a higher force that keeps this whole world together. Call me old-fashioned, but I find comfort in believing that someone or something knows exactly what is going on in each of our lives. And that same force has a plan for all of us.
A recent event regarding a friend has made me think more about this belief. Ending a chapter of his life, to start a new and exciting one. How was anyone to know that the earlier chapter would be his last? Was it never meant to be? Had he chosen to stay on, would things be different?
Is there more to it than life just pushing us in a certain direction? Perhaps this is a test. A test where you're required to choose at certain points in time. If you make the right choice, all's well. If you choose wrong, there's no telling what might happen. You may be unhappy, ending up regretting the choices you made. Or life may decide not to allow you to make any choices anymore. How many times are we allowed to make the wrong choice? Is it the same for everyone? Have I run out of my allowed number? What will happen the next time I am at a crossroad? Wait! I AM at a crossroad and am trembling as I make my decision. Will this be my last?
All said and done, none of us have any idea about the tapestry that is our lives. A new weave takes place and the pattern changes with every chapter, every decision. I just hope that everyone's tapestry is completed when they leave.
Rest in peace, my dear friend.
