Lots of Questions, huh.          .          .

If you could only choose just one of your P U R P O S E S

If you could only choose just one of your R E A S O N S

If you could only choose just one of your M E A N I N G S

If you could only choose just one of your D E S T I N I E S 

WHICH  ONE  WOULD  YOU  CHOOSE?

What would be your criteria for choosing?

Would you go Simple.        .         .

Would you go Challenging.        .        .

Sitting on the Fence never got anyone much but a hole in their pants

and   a   sore   R U M P.          .          .

These are the roles that pop into my own head

and occupy my life

on a daily basis

and if I had to be

S I N G U L A R

and not be a

P   L  U  R  A  L

which one would I pick.        .        .

not so much which one would I hone in on.       .       .

which ONE would I eliminate.        .        .

which ONE would I unravel

not only from my own multicolored Tapestry

but from the fabric of so many other lives

who have intermeshed with my own.        .        .

SHOULD    I    PUT    IT    TO    A    VOTE.          .          .

that are threads to the

MOSAIC   OF    ME 

We don’t have to CHOOSE

WE JUST HAVE TO UTILIZE

and the best part:

You don’t have to PICK PLURAL

you just have to simply embrace it.           .          .
