« It's just dark without…THE MAGIC BRUSH | Main | In silence when the heart can speak »

If I were to say to someone - and I know this question has been asked before - "What if you were given a million dollars, what would you do?" You'd think about it, "I'd pay off my debts. I'd buy this, I'd buy that, I'd save a little, I'd do this, I'd do that…"
Because, for us, there is an importance to that million dollars. To a lot of people, it means freedom to be able to do what they want to do. But nonetheless, it is speculation, because that's how the question is set up. "What if you had…?" "What if somebody gave you…?" "What if…?"
But here, when we deal with this most precious thing that is worth billions, and more - that is priceless - the question isn't speculation: "What if you had life?" You have it. "What would you do? How would you use it?" It's a stunning question, because it's real. It's not a question that is asked too often. And yet, sincerely, what would our answer to that question be? Have we taken the time in this life to sit down and say, "Hm. I've got to think about that. I have been given a life."?
