Wednesday Prompt: What does having purpose mean to me?

Personal Responsibility to “Breathe Life and the Love of God”

Introduction:

This question of purpose harkens back to “Layers”, as my paintbrushes, a/k/a my fingers, and my palate, a/k/a my keyboard, manifest layer upon layer of purposefulness — purpose to loved ones, purpose to human-self, purpose to humanity, purpose to soul, purpose to planet, purpose to Creators — hopefully, these will align and not conflict.

Song lyrics are often prophetically poetic, and undoubtedly so when Lord Rama, literally, not figuratively, introduced me to this song, Aloha Ke Akua, by Nahko and Medicine for the People:

Lend your ears, lend your hands
Lend your movement, anything you can.
Come to teach, come to be taught.
