I have been and done much in my life. Mostly as a road-weary warrior on the highways and by-ways and goat trails of America. I guess I am, at this late date, content and satisfied. There are a few "wished-I-had-done-that-differently," but not much of that. I found peace. Finally. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

EBM...Perhaps there is an alternate universe where we lead the lives we have in dreams and what ifs. I've often thought so. |

isn't that part of why we write...to be able to share those dreams and ifs, if only in words and passing? |

I had a dream last night about `what if`. It sort of annoyed me because while I was dreaming I realized that I could not go back and change things and even if I did there was no guarantee that the changes that I made would bring me happiness. I guess I`ll just say that I am content with the present and the `what will`. ---- Still all and all a good write. |
