The Final Act and Why It Matters

It may not be time for your final act. It may be years to come. But what will that act be? How will you leave this life, these people, our world and planet. The final move when the game is done. The last nod to God for everything created and everything to come.
Will you leave behind a puff of fossil fuels, a cloud of CO2. Will you be forever taking up space in a landfill? Or will you go back to the Earth from which you came. To live again in the cycle of life. Nutrients for the soil. To feed or become one with a tree.
It does matter, you do matter. Everything matters in life and even in our death. We make decisions everyday to uphold what we believe in. To stand by what is right. We are not here by chance. We are actors in Gods plan. We are makers of this world. What we do in our time here is real, it is the only thing that is real. What we stand up for is not a puff of smoke, it is matter and it is this world.
Our part may be short but it is part of a system. We may choose to live and die and participate in the system, or we may consume destroy and deplete like a cancer killing the host. Our purpose is not to be a rouge cell. Our purpose is creation, love and symbiosis. We are not alone we are a piece of the many. A part of the whole and we all make this life what it is. A beautiful symphony.
Believe is what you do. Believe in who you are. Remember the truth. Live your life like a masterpiece. A once in a lifetime chance of expression. Gods expression through you. Your final act becoming one with the all. The mystery of the universe, the purpose of our being and love of all that is.
Return to the earth, nourish the world, believe in our future and live on forever.
