February, 2007 - Biography or Novel?

Imagine for a moment your whole life as a book where you are born in the first chapter, die in the last and everything you say and do is written on the pages in between.

Do you live your life as if it were biography or novel?

Are you simply collecting facts and counting milestones along life's path towards the final page? Or are you writing a great novel about a richly textured love woven deep into the fabric of your life to the point that the words desire to leap off the page with excitement and even the pages are sweetly fragrant like a garden basking in warm golden sunlight after a soft spring rain.

Sadly, it is all too easy to get caught up in the work-day world where pointless facts and trivial urgent things attempt to push the truly important parts of life to the side. If this is allowed to happen too often and continue too long, the pages of your life will become populated with emotionless and vain accomplishments that quickly become stale facts in yet another biography.

What if all these pointless, trivial and vain things actually serve a purpose with all their attempts to distract and woo us away from our love?

Love stories are not much fun to read without some trials and tribulations, but true love overcomes the obstacles and wins the ultimate prize. Some believe the love that endures grows sweeter because it has been proven. How do others know your love has endured if it can not be easily found in the pages of your life?

What kind of book are you writing with your life?
