The Kite I fly my kite serenity Waiting for the heights reward Piercing clouds uncertainty I hold its umbilical cord My kite flies in and out of mist The silver string belies begot How can I stabilize exist It will in time degrade and rot The conundrum still bothers me The phobia of letting go The thought of be or not to be This little that I think I know I hold the string with hijack grasp I cannot pull it back to earth I feel I hold a poison asp Perhaps the truth is in rebirth I cannot pass the string to you How say you, what should I do? |

The conundrum still bothers me The phobia of letting go The thought of be or not to be This little that I think I know Okay I have now given this a great deal of thought.  Sooooo...we've been told we each have a soul and it is immortal right? What I am about to explain you may find also a bit perplexing. See, I have a problem with the fact that we humans house that very soul (the immortal one,)and so maybe therefore we don't exist at all anyway right? If you look at that way, then you can just go out and fly the darn kite and not have a single worry in the world right? Why? Because after all you don't even exist! I say to you sir Sy, just have a good time, go out, and  |

FNG Thank you for the read and quote. iliana That is a thought, thank you. Sharon, That is one of the many paths I have tried. But it is a dangerous one if you don't understand it. Miranda, Letting go is always hard. |

I like that 'umbilical cord'. As for the conundrum, I just scratch my head. And since I need both hands for that-- oops! There goes the kite. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
