From the deepest of seas, 
to the highest of peaks.

Through an unbelievable dance of emotion and adventure,

The meaning of life is finally revealed.

We are here..., not for ourselves, but for each other.

We are here to partake in the full spectrum of human emotion,
and to journey the most tasty of journey's.

Life is about our senses...,
about living in the moment 
and consuming all that can be consumed..., 
tasting all that can be tasted.

It is about the scent of flowers, and the color of a rose.

It is about the taste of chocolate,
and the magical drool of a hot fudge sundae.

Life is about strawberries, hoola-hoops, birthday parties 
and Spaghetti O's.

Life is about water-skiing, mountain climbing, 
hiking, fishing and biking.

It is about the taste of pure water,
and the refreshing bubbles
of your favorite soda.

It's about the cherry on the sundae,
and the whip cream on nose.

Life is about the beauty of a lady-bug,
and the mystery of a moth.

Life is about the magic of a butterfly,
and the scent of a rainbow painted sky.

Life is about the belly ache of laughter,
and tear drops of joy.

It is about the mosquito on the water,
and the frog atop the Lilly-pad.

It is about the stars, the moon and the clouds.

It is about root beer and ice cream...,
 peanut butter and chocolate, 
and bavarian cream pie.

About loving ourselves, and loving another.

It is a game of choices

From the first steps we take, to the last breath we breathe,
we are here to live, love and enjoy
the full collage of the many colors, faces and tastes,
 of this magical world,
known as the third planet from the sun.

It is here on earth that we are meant to live, 
and here on earth we are meant to expand our heart and mind, 
so that we can make real, the wildest of imaginings.

We are meant to live freely with love...,
to respect and honor this magical place...,
...the place we call home...!

Life is meant to be lived,
and we are meant to laugh, love,
and grow with, and amongst each other...,
...to taste the flavor of joy,
and live the laughter of change.

We are, and always will be

The Flower
In The Garden
Of The Mind
Of
God.
