In these changing
and uncertain times
one wonders why
It has to be

Somewhere someone’s
something is being
torn asunder

Natural disaster’s
survival of the fittest
come and go
with matters
of the heart…

Broken by fate

I don't know if it is fate that broke it or more of a human problem, but the result I guess is the same. Heartache and heartbreak.

The people in Colorado came to mind. I can't imagine the pain of losing everything.
Good to "see" you

Tell me, how does one avoid a date with fate? You may be a sucker, but I'm a glutton.

Thanks for the read and compliment.

Owl, point taken. Have to have the dark to appreciate the light. Good to see you.

FATE?

If your beliefs go there, is not fate just a trumped up word for Karma? I think maybe we all earn our "fate".

In another sense though . . . (and don't misunderstand: I'm a deeply "faithful" person - one that still believes I'm "allowed" to question). . . but what kind of God, so wonderful and pure and loving, would allow his children to go through some of what they do -

Would you, as a parent, allow the same to happen with your children, if you were omnificent?

opening a can of worms here. Karma is still learning from your mistakes in a round about way. Good parents (if you want to go with a God analogy)let their children learn from their mistakes but try to keep them from making fatal ones. Just as I do not believe natural disasters are Karma or the wrath of God. Stuff happens and we get the opportunity to learn (even in our suffering) and then use that knowlege to reach out to others.

Ha! Good (more or less expected) answer Lori!
And about as deep as I'm going to get into a philosophical discussion on here.

You made it fun though, as far as it goes - enjoyed.
