What is the Meaning of this Journey we Call Life?

Today (Sat 22 March 2025) I read a very interesting, powerful and meaningful article in my daily paper on life’s biggest question: What is the Meaning of Life? All sorts of thoughts, imaginations and ideas started to get shaped and formulated in my head. I decided to read the article again, hoping this will help me to calm my excited and busy mind. To some extent it did. But I wanted more…
I must admit that the article very much resonated with me, as this fundamental question, ‘what is the meaning of life’, has been occupying my thoughts and my mind for a very long time, since the early 1990s when I began to ask fundamental questions of myself, my personal and my professional life, meaning and purpose, who am I, what am I, why am I, what am I teaching my students, who have come to me for inspiration and guidance, and much more. It was then that I began my journey of self-discovery, a journey of search for meaning and purpose, a journey still in progress. More on this later (see the links at the end)*.
Moreover, these days, the meaning of life has become even more important and significant to me. Since my wife’s stroke a couple of years ago, our lives have been turned upside down. Many new challenges, difficulties, emotions, feelings, questions and more. Despite the wonderful loving kindness and support of our sons and their families, as well as our friends, here, in Coventry, I, nonetheless, at times feel more isolated, lonely and vulnerable; missing our loving conversations, storytelling, planning our lives together and doing the things we used to do…Above all, I miss Annie’s insightful and wise counsel, helping me to navigate my life and to anchor me whilst sailing in life’s stormy waters.
