When one is creating / manifesting the vision of their Life Purpose, it is like Michelangelo sculpting ; It is said that he believed the sculpture was already within the block of marble and he had to chip away everything that was not it.

So too, it is in manifesting one's vision. The vision already exists and everything that is not that must be cut away. I have become one of the fragments chiseled away from another's vision.

Was it destiny or were there choices I could have made to remain part of the vision? And yet, it seems, the only choices belong to the Visioner.  I cannot know for sure because I am now a fragment. Now free to create my smaller vision that includes only this part of me.
