yep,when your 15 min. is up, it's up

sorry, I just couldn't resist, here you've made a profound statement and I've commented with humor, hope you're not offended.

I'm afraid I saw a comic strip yesterday about one's 15 min. of fame. It was a rather cynical one so it had me primed for this kind of response.

And in ourselves we must find that which is to us, important. What the world then thinks or recognizes is merely a reflection of the state they exist in.

Love this form and the way so much is said with so little....

I guess if it's going to come to a person it will in time. Being comfortable with ourselves is the kind of destination we should be seeking. If the fame comes then so be it! great write!

VAS ~ How could I ever be upset with you? I will just get even

CH ~ Thank you, and you are correct my new friend.

ethome ~ Many thanks my friend. Yes, life, maturity, and comfort are not destinations. Rather, they are journeys.

Fame is a bewitch
She gives nought but illusion
artificial light

Nicely done.
