(A lone voice whispers)
You do realise don't you
That you're the end product of all you see and do
All big or small seminal events
From childhood to adulthood
Happy or intense
From
Parents
School
Society
Social media
Lovers
Emotions
Heartbreak
Friends
Trauma
Abuse
The list could go on and possibly could never end
Passages from your favourite well-read trusted books
Well-loved soul-rousing song lyrics that once sent you into crazy hysterics
Not caring who looked
All enhanced by those quiet exchanges with trusted partners in crime
At some spontaneous time
Or at a random location
At way past midnight or perhaps some local cafe in daylight
All this and so much more
Are simply the very foundations upon which your film called
The Documentary of The Soul is custom-built
Its archives filled to the hilt with adventures
Good or bad
All those well-kept secrets
Hidden moments may be filled with regrets or guilt
Captured for all eternity to be shared
When from your mortal body
Your soul undergoes its last seminal event on earth
And it's eventually set free
For us all to see
And to become a new version of itself
As it opens the door to the Great In-Between
With its own Astral Key
You still have time you know to build a Hollywood show
Do more
Be more
Give more
Take chances
Why not
Don't be like Marvin
When we watched his film in the Great Red Room
All he did was work 7 days a week
No holidays
No love
Friends or adventurous stories
Showing him in his prime and all his glory
He said he wished he knew then what he knows now
Don't live to work
Work to live the best life you can
Create as many great Seminal Events as you can!
Make that your life-only master plan
