Every Lifetime Has
A Cross To Bear
Every lifetime has a cross to bear!
In other words, every soul has a cross
to bear—in each and every lifetime—
and some have more than one!
-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., A Creative Writer)

My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post "Every Lifetime Has A Cross To Bear" [September 21st, 2021 Update]:
I think that my blogs are being sabotaged by someone who is very 'tech savvy,' and they may be someone that I know, because I have noticed strange things happening while I have been editing my writing, which includes the blog post "Every Lifetime Has A Cross To Bear" not appearing on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog!
And, even though I can see it on the Blogger Dashboard, and I can go to that post directly, it appears as if I never published that particular blog post on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog!
So, I provided a hyperlink to the blog post "Every Lifetime Has A Cross To Bear" from the aforementioned blog on my "Small All White in the Forest," "Three Dark Horses" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs. (Please see the hyperlinks below for the posts.) You see, I am afraid of having that post appear as if it is not, in fact, published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog—and that is why I provided a hyperlink. (Please see the hyperlink below for the post.)

My Writing Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: Every lifetime has a cross to bear! In other words, every soul has a cross to bear—in each and every lifetime—and some have more than one!
What inspired this poem are the difficulties that I have dealt with in life, including having a truly dysfunctional childhood, since I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("The Mormon Church") and the various health challenges that I have dealt with, including issues with spiritual health, mental health and physical health (the reader should know that I am HIV-positive and that I have full-blown AIDS) all of which were based upon My Karma!
Plus, what inspired me to republish this poem, as part of my "For Easter Weekend" series on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog, is the massage that Jesus The Christ sent to all of us when He was crucified and then He was resurrected! You see, I truly believe that "We Are All A Part Of God."
Therefore, Jesus Christ was demonstrating to all of us that His Body and Soul "had a cross to bear in that lifetime." And that is why, when Jesus Christ was resurrected after He was crucified, He was still His Soul contained within His Body, but His Soul and Body were transformed into pure energy!
And this poem was published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Poet, Artist and Philosopher," "Three Dark Horses" and "Small All White in the Forest." Plus, I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice!
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
