Wake, Awake, For Night Is Flying.
We are definitely in a New Age. More and more people have come up to me and asked me questions about the meaning of life.
We have been stuck in a rut; but not anymore. It is mostly older people who have asked these questions. People have learned that to deal with life they have make changes in themselves, not others. Some people have been caught napping. They have been content with the way life was going for them and when it stopped working, they didn’t know where to go or what to do.
I am not a “home wrecker.´” I only talk to those people who want to talk to me. These people already have questions and they think that I might have the answers. I do, but for me, not them; but if I can help I will. When I give my ”advice”, it is “take it or leave it.”

I do believe in the meaningfulness of life. There is a reason behind everything even if I don’t know it right now. I believe in the worthiness of every human being. Everyone has some valuable contribution to make. We should recognize this and not just focus on the rich and famous. These people often can do amazing things and yet, at the same time, they are very humble.
This type of awakening can come during adolescence or young adulthood, middle age, or even at the end of life. It depends on how much society supports such a search. Often it requires letting go of attachments to things people, values etc. which were very important earlier in life.As a result of this awakening, we can change so much that we can hardly recognize ourselves. “Who was that 30 year old woman who met her husband on a blind date after moving to a new town?
Change is a human condition. Most people recognize the physical ones. “Oh, did I look like that when I was in grade school? “What will I look like in ten years?” Some people are very afraid of change and base what they do on what they learned in the past. Nothing remains the same; even in nature. The cycle of birth and death is always a reality that we and other creatures have to face. This is something that we can not effectively deny.
