The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe; to match your nature with Nature. ~Joseph Campbell

The story for me will always be about mystery: life/death, the power of love, and how to come to terms with a "creator" (to frame things in the standard projection of human/experiential terms, i.e., "cause/effect") that lets us die. Personally, I tend to think it's nothing personal, just the best that can be managed for now. But together, we'll think of something.
