Free will

Free will

Living life like in a dream.
What is real? What does it all mean?
When the tree falls, does anyone hear? Better yet, does anyone care?
We float in the cosmos like a grain of rice.

Down here, we matter. We have status, ego, pride—some of it justified, and some of it just to be denied.
Beings, nasty or nice, regardless, someone must pay the price.

Yet there’s something here that I do not see, smell, or hear.
Some say Mother Nature, higher power, or divine spirit.
I refer to this as G-d, the Creator, master of all of it.
He is the all-knowing One, the knower, yet He gives us freedom.
Freedom to choose, to pick, to decide.
The choice is yours to make.

You can let your life pass by.
You can grab it by the horns.
You do bad, you do good—you get caught up in the thorns.
What will become of your life? Which options will you take?
It’s all up to you.
You can use your hands to build or to break.
