DOUBLE EDGED SWORD:
Life is like a sword. Double edged. Every choice is a sword. We live by them. We die by them. Sometimes we hold on to them to tightly, then wonder why we hurt so badly. Swords are like mirrors, depending on which side you stand on, is what you see. Depending on how far or close you hold it, is what you will be. The sword is protecting you, the sword is killing you. Some swords we love to much. The hardest swords to let go, usually are the ones that will save our life. Things get heavy, it’s the swords we are carrying.
Love isn’t free, it’s a sword indeed. Double edged. Depending on what side you’re on, it what side you will see. It’s like a mirror. Reflecting back all your choices, you’ll see.

My puzzle
It’s the journey not the race that takes place throughout all time and space. Whats my journey? It feels like a race throughout space but what’s really taking place? The journey, is puzzles pieces placed in all moments throughout space. That we must picture together. Only to find the picture never really comes together. We race and race to finally get to a place, only to realize those pieces don’t fit our place. So the journey begins again to find the time and space that fits our life into pieces that we must place. It’s always the journey, never the race. In the end the pieces come together. Gods the journey, Egos the race.
