Whether or not you have nun-like vibrations was the farthest thing from my mind. That's a good thing. Namaste,Allen

Oh deep well here indeed..... Personally I've always felt somethings a miss; part of the puzzle is missing; An elephant in the room nobody wants to talk about because it shoves religion somewhat aside. I was raised Italian Catholic by the way , so dont get the idea I'm an athiest or something. BUT ...... At the end of the day we are here aren't we? And our opinions or theories will not change that fact ..... So what does one do? Move forward and enjoy it - what ever it is....... try and be as respectful to the planet & others along the way. I've always lived life in the moment.... I don't think were here to work all day and night .... You work to sustain your life, your not sustaining your life just so you can get back to work are you????? Some people actually live this way.... I need my escape bubble.... I need to get inside all the love and warmth that is my music... I need a goal beyond "sustaining my life" I'd like to leave something behind, something thats stops people in their hustling bustling lives for a moment and makes them say "wow" for a moment. Thats why I write songs, thats my ultimate goal. I have ancesters that made the history books, painting frescos in Florence Italy about 100 yrs before Michealangelo. This is another story/thread within itself. But THAT blows my mind. They acheived something awesome, to be forever remembered, respected and appreciated. Staring at their works, I've often wondered what they felt as they painted; was it the same drive & emotion I find inside myself creating music 600 years later? That needling need to 'get it out' ; what ever it is needs let out; What ever it is has refused to let me stop or give up. I need to do this thing called creating music. It has become a very large part of the 'purpose of life' for me. Chris

The purpose of life is to find the purpose of life when you've found the purpose of life then you will know the purpose of life and then you can live your life with as much purpose as you can find unless you found the purpose of your life inadvertently and purposely wanted to avoid the purpose of your life on purpose.I hope that's clear because I purposely didn't want anyone to miss the purpose of my post unless of course they didn't want to understand on purpose.

For me, I've boiled it down to a pretty simple view: When I'm done here, I will be asked but one question by my creator: "Were you nice to my other kids?" And, of course as others have said here: to live, to love, to laugh. All summed up for anyone who wants to view it: http://www.capizon.com/trudgersprayer.htm

I'd like to look back on my life and honestly say that what I've done has actually helped to make the world a little better than when I got here.That's all I ask...
