The meaning of your life is to help others find the meaning of theirs.*
You’ll find yourself working – thinking, making
sentences – in the brief intervals of your ordinary life,
In increments no longer than a few seconds.
How long does a thought take?
Or a sentence?
Verlyn Klinkenborg
I am grateful for those who helped me
identify my life-meaning –
Which turned out to be as close as my breath;
Let me know
if I can help you find yours.^
