A good friend once, when asked by a student what was the meaning of life, thought for a while and then replied, "The meaning of life is a life filled with meaning."  I was just thinking about this today, as I went about my "business" using the tools of social media, halfway asking myself why in the world this all seems so important.  Why do I spend hours a day trying to get my "message" out there, and why do so many others do the same?

I think partly it's because we do, indeed live in an information age, and we make many more connections than ever before possible by participating in Cyberspace.  I also think, in my case anyway, it's because I am truly excited by the adventure on which I've embarked.  I so want to share it with others, with people who are seeking their own unique passions, their own unique journeys.  This sharing, this reaching out to others, is how I create a life filled with meaning, and it gives me great joy.

So I think my friend was right.  When it boils right down to it, what can life truly mean but all of us sharing our unique gifts with one another, thus creating together a more harmonious, peaceful, and meaningful world?
