Dear universe,
I stand at a threshold in my life. Should I turn right or should I turn left? Should I continue on the straight and narrow path or should I take the twisted path? How am I to know? How? Each has benefits and each holds terror. How am to know which holds the greater truth for this, my life? How am I to choose a path to follow?
Finally, standing at this threshold I shrug and turn left or right. I follow the straight path or the twisted one. I understand it makes no difference for the universe will protect and each path has just as many life lessons to offer as the next. Each path holds as many terrors. All we, as humans, have to do is chose. Chose and be content in the choosing.

Dear universe,
I wish to thank you for expressing the gentlest, kindest type of love to me. The kind of love that transcends all words and emotions and can only be possible if born of a heart that is pure. How many times in a day do I pass up the opportunity to show that love to others? More times than I can count. This is the type of love that holds open doors. This love never misses an opportunity to say thank you or I appreciate that. This love is born of friendship and kindness and not of hate or envy. This love whispers in your ear to show kindness because that stranger, who was on his last legs in this world, needed more than anything else to be thanked. That simple thank you was an invitation to life of which that stranger is eternally grateful for.
With all the love that I possess,
A stranger

Dear stranger,

Even as you stand at the threshold of life, you do not see the full path that your life may take. I see your path, and I see the paths of those who share your experience of life. Your path crosses theirs, and intertwines with many others as you face your life. Some paths may end, and some may be born, but they are all woven into a giant tapestry called the "Human Experience".

I am afraid that I cannot help you choose your path, any more than I can govern your life. You wouldn't really want me to, anyway. For, as soon as I point you down one path, you'll find that you really wanted to go down the other, and you will hate me for my loving guidance.

You are correct that each path holds dangers and rewards, but I must leave you to blaze your own trail.

With love and blessings,
The Universe

p.s. You are no stranger to me. You are known and loved.

Dear Universe,
I know this face you turn towards me. This faded incarnation of lessons I have forgotten, and will learn again. I chose this path long before your solar heat blessed new flesh. Made the list of trials from the unending choices you place before that which I was, will be again. I know this face....perhaps I will see another, in time.

Dear universe,
I wish to express my thanks to you for the kind and generous people that cause joy to grow in my heart but inevitably their life takes a different path and my heart cries tears of blood for the lose of them. I plead with you to show me if the temporary joy is worth the everlasting pain of their absence? Is it possible for me to tie them to my heart when they want a different path? If I succeed in doing so will the escence of them remain or will it only be a shadow of the soul I had loved? The pain that their absence would cause can not possibly be worse than the pain of their broken soul on my conscious. I have to let them chose their own life's path and can only pray that they will chose me.

Dear Universe,

why didn't you let us know right at the beginning? If we'd known, we might have done something about it earlier, made life easier, avoided all of those terrible, tragic mistakes. Why couldn't you have left signs for us to follow? Some clues? Anything to point us in the right direction. Yes. I know, you left clues everywhere for us to find - we simply didn't notice them, they were all so darned obvious - we looked straight through them! Makes me laugh now when I think about it - No doubt it makes you laugh too. And laughter is, I suppose, a fitting way for us to spend these final moments, finally together again.

Dear universe,
Thank you for the wonder that is my life. I am surronded by beauty and mystery. I am only one of the many beautiful souls wandering this place called Earth. With the wonder comes the memory of evil that lurks in every shadow and around every corner. It is inevitable that the shadow jumps and when it does another piece of me dies.

Dear Universe,

Why? How come?

Not that I expect you to understand either, but I feel the need to pose these questions to you. Everyday I see the the world and the miraculous things that happen in it. I see life rise from the dead, and the inevitable return of the living to death. I see humans debase their high-held morals as we raise in brilliance. I see, a few everyday, the secrets you've fought so hard to hide from us until we were ready. I'm believe I'm beginning to see you as you really are, and I openly appreciate everything you've done for us, and everything you've yet to show us.

Your loving servant,
Tex
