For the First time
"Naked a man comes from his mother's womb
and as he comes, so he departs. He takes nothing from his labor..."
Ecc 5:15
A man walks over to the oasis in the distance. As he Reached the oasis, he was captivated by all it brought him. To his eyes, it was cheese to a mice. He took out the map he had and read the instructions once again.
"You will pass by the oasis. just drink up and get on your way, The destination is yet to be."
He shrugged and had his eyes bouncing off the map and the beautiful sight all around him. He looked to is left and to his right. Nothing as pleasant was in the distance. So he settled down. Then and there, he forgottened abt the map and the oasis became his home. Little did he know that somewhere not too far away, was someplace more magnificent. more sparkling than the oasis.
Time passed. As he drew near to his dying breath. He saw tht he was all alone and the once beautiful oasis was now a used up disposable land. He then remembered the Map and the intructions given. He looked once again at the ancient map and Located where he should have been. AS he looked carefully into the distance, he saw a light that blew away all his frustrations, loneliness and fear. It dawned on him then, how he carelessly made this temporal place his home. As he tried to make his way there. He found he was short of breath. Just like the fading and crumbling oasis, he too was affected by the spell, and was not able to carry on the journey...
As he was nearing his death
