The Art of Life: End Purpose

“Your greatest legacy is held in the people you leave behind”

Most tourist come to Belize for a break. They want to slow down reassess. “Am I on track?” “Is there a purpose to what I am doing? Walking by the empty beach chairs you can almost hear the residue of leisure thoughts left behind. We slow down either to end a purpose; navigate the one we are in; or get started on a new one. We are all preparing for the final end purpose.

And what is our final end purpose? Some say, “It’s what you make it.” Others, “to go to heaven or hell,” Some don’t believe in either, but look to science reverting back to energy that never stops just become something else. Purpose is a human made concept and we need one to take a step in any direction. Even no purpose is a purpose. As you co-create it’s important to step away to get a bird’s eye view, now and then.

You make the brush strokes daily. Whatever you believe will be there to face you in the end. For me, its love, not that gushy stuff you see on TV though. When I think of love it is an unconditional energy that is inside and all around us. You can say we live inside this essence. This Divine energy communicates and is experienced through our heart-this energy is the same connected to the earth’s magnetic meridian.

Finding this essence everyday is your divine connection to going back to where you came from. After all no one knows when your purpose will truly end, that is why it’s a good idea to practice love in action, everyday.

Altercation leaves one hospitalized

After an altercation in the San Pedrito area in San Pedro, A.C. left one man hospitalized; three individuals have been arrested in connection to the incident. Mr. Roland Ford was hospitalized following a chopping/stabbing incident on Thursday morning.

The three detained are Mr. Miguel Martinez, Mr. Joel Vasquez and Ms. Vanessa Hall. The incident is said to have occurred at the residence of Miguel Martinez. Sources inform The San Pedro Sun that on Wednesday April 6th, Mr. Martinez reported to the San Pedro Police Department that he was being threatened. Then on Thursday morning at around 1:00am, Mr. Roland Ford went to the residence of Mr. Martinez after a night of socializing at a popular bar/nightspot. An argument ensued during which Mr. Martinez was able to unarm Mr. Ford, and using the same weapon, inflicted two stab wounds. Ford persisted and this led to him receiving two chop wounds at the hands of Mr. Martinez.

Mr. Ford’s injuries are described as one stab wound to the right side of his neck, a stab wound to his left cheek, one chop wound to his left elbow that was so severe as to cause a fracture, plus a chop wound to his left arm. Ford bled profusely and lost consciousness. He was rushed to Ambergris Hope’s Clinic where he was attended by Dr. Daniel Gonzalez. He was released from Dr. Gonzalez’ care at 3:30am after the bleeding was stopped and he was stabilized. He was then transported to the San Pedro PolyClinic II where he was under the care of Dr. Zuniga until he was airlifted to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital at 5:30 on Thursday morning.
