“Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete: If you’re alive, it isn’t.”
[Lauren Bacall]
From his work, Late Fragment, Raymond Carver responds to the question in this way,
“And did you get what
you wanted from life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.”
May we be blessed to be alive in the love of living.
