Our lives are like books,
divided into chapters.
Each one may hold a year
or more
or less,
depending.
There is a beginning
when we are young,
a middle,
and then the final stage
as we move toward
older age.
Like an artist,
or a writer,
we create each chapter
through our choices,
the people we meet,
the experiences
that shape us.
As we move forward,
we adjust our chapters,
rewrite, refine,
begin again.
Each life-book is different
unique to us,
no more or less valuable
than another.
Every experience
helps us grow,
adding to the story.
In our own quiet way,
each of us is a creator,
an artist
of our life
and our world.
