the meek inherit what

i am examining shrinkage and growth, life after certain death, forces so resilient that even utter devastation cannot end life. i am hoping to find answers to questions and questions for those answers. i am looking for true spirit. something that i strive for, yearn for, and somewhere i come up short. maybe these investigations will open my heart to seeing those that have nothing and yet strive for everything, or those that have things and with a heartfelt wonder, continue along paths that might easily be avoided. i want to open more paths, for myself and others. i want to not be written off.
