Nature gives what she must and we take what we can crawling in snail-like motion at the mind-boggling speed of one ant-step per stroke of time. Like green grasshoppers - cross-legged, yet jumping hopping around in hope of gaining some leeway in a fantasy filled flight. What's this race for? A desperate competition to earn the blinded feeling nurturing pride in a mad lust torturing self in fame's flames in a desire for vast acclaim. Ah, what an excuse, so lame! Ah, humanity! Such a shame! --- |

Sudhir, I loved the play on words (in more ways than one) I loved the message. There is no "con" in you, only pros. Be well Keth Can I borrow the title it's triggered a different train of thought in me. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |
