A Passage that Changed my Life

A Passage that changed my Life!!!

Every now and again a person may be reading something and say “ Is the person that wrote this speaking to ME… reading my mind? Did I write this?

Is there really such a thing as “random”?

Today my mind was blown as I “accidently” opened a book that I have no idea who the author was or what the book’s title is.

I found a book a few years back on the verge of compost…WHY I rescued it… I didn’t understand….until TODAY.

Here is the passage verbatim:

  “What was happening was wrong. It was sweeping him along with it, and if he was sensible it would go right on carrying him, farther and farther until he was remote from what he was, remote from where he was, where he had won to, one with rest, indistinguishable from that which he fled.

    And there was something to do. There must be something to do before it was too late. Because it must never be too late. Because life, what had been given to him and what had shaped him, could be detestable. Could be so detestable that there was no point continuing with it.

There was only one thing he really wanted to do. There was only one life he wanted to live.

And there had to be a way. There had to.

And there had to be an answer. An answer to everything that was going on around him, something that would jibe, that would make sense, that would prove that what he was seeing wasn’t true at all, that it hadn’t happened, even.

Yes, that was a way of thinking about it. But was it true?

Because now he had to know.

Now there wasn’t  any going on any longer. Not this way.”

I will plan on sharing this with the world.

It really shed some light on a dark area of my life that I had been struggling through lately.

What I may never understand is how these words came to me at this exact moment… as I had been ready to give up.
