Endless questions, Mercilessly torturing my mind; Teasing and taunting my existence, the very essence of “me”. Search though I might for the answers, I am lost to the endless speculation and analysis. Try though I do, to strive for the meaning behind such thoughts, I disappear into the depths of my query, surfacing only briefly to gaze at reality headlong. Only then, do I realize that the explanations I seek, the answers that elude me so, Will not be found in this reality. And yet, continue, I do. Ever exploring, Always probing, Forever searching, until the end of time. |

Kit my dear friend of challenges. You have never let me down yet and you didn't this time either. I saw this in open 9 as you were testing it.LOL and was wondering if you were going to put it up. This is so GREAT in content and format and I do so love the way you step up to the plate. Don't feel bad because often times I feel lost as well.

I once had all the answers ... but no one believed me ... I set out to prove me right and found that I didn't have any answers very nice Kit Like the autumn colors they'll soon be upon us, won't they? Rex |

Kit The question is how'd you get to be so picture perfect wiithout me noticing. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

A fellow searcher... oh I know this feeling too well, strangely whne I look it always seems to be in the wrong place and that means missing some of life's wonders. Kit I think we should step back and take a long holiday just drift around and see where it takes us. I for one I am tired of all this intense staring. Wonderfully written piece, would make a pretty great slide. "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women".

~Sunny: Thank you for the "spectacular" Sunny! I'm just following Mark's lead ... he keeps starting these things, and I'm helpless to deny him a challenge for some reason! lol ~Janet Marie: ROFL ... you crack me up, I've missed you! Now with these little questions, you've sent my mind spinning ... I'll have to come join you in lock-up (place an order for a straight-jacket for me though!) Thanks JM!  ~Mark: You sneaky guy ... how on earth did you happen along as I was testing it in my old thread Mark! I figured that thread had made it's round so it was safe! ROFL! I have enjoyed each and every one of your challenges . (glad I'm not alone in the context of these words either) ... guess this is my tribute to you ... "a Question - Mark" LOL, JM started that ... thanks Mark! ~Rebecca: Oh, this was fun ... thank you for the WOW's Rebecca ... I greatly appreciate it! ~JennE: What a wonderful comment, thanks so much Jenn! I'm glad you enjoyed this. The colours are pretty easy actually. If you look under the "members area" and how to use HTML, it explains it in there, have a peek, and if you have any questions, give me a shout! ~Marge: Thanks for the "bravo" Marge ... I thought you might enjoy this one, my lady of pictures! Your presentations are always picture perfect! Much appreciation! ~Rex: LOL ... what would we do if we REALLY had all the answers Rex? Maybe that's just about as scary as "not knowing" ... hmmm I'll have to think on that. Thanks for the autumn spray of colour ... it's coming soon for sure! ~Denise: Thank you so very much for the "fabulous" and "creative" Denise ... I love to have you stop by and enjoy, thanks! ~Vicki: Wow, thanks for the "awesome" Vicky ... I love that you loved it! ~Melissa: Smiling here ... THANK YOU Melissa, I really appreciate the Wows!!! ~Liz: Is that you Liz?? What's the password! LOL. I haven't posted much free verse on the Forums, but it comprised probably half of my earlier writings. It was nice to move back into that little groove for a change. Mark's challenges keep me busy for sure, me twin! ~RosePetals: Thank you so much Rosepetals ... it's funny how things just pull together sometimes. I'm not even sure where this one came from, other than it's from the heart ... I continuously torture myself with questions! ~EagleOne: Thank you very much EagleOne, I'm very grateful you enjoyed! ~Butterflies: I soooooo loved your response Butterflies! Live and learn ... that's my motto, I'll keep tryin' till I get it right! ~Balladeer: Thanks so much for the "punctuation perfect" and "excellent" Balladeer ... I so enjoy your responses, they mean a great deal to me! Much appreciated! ~Kethry: LOL ... that was sweet Kethry, thank you so much for reading and enjoying! ~Marsha: What a wonderful comment Marsha ... thank you sooooo much, very grateful I am! ~Karilea: Now part of that's just not true Karilea, my HIGHLY talented friend! Thank you so very much for this lovely comment. I really appreciate it! ~Brian: Ahhhh Brian, a fellow searcher indeed. Let's both take your advice ... I can get pretty tired too! And LOL @ the slide ... loved it! With much appreciation to all, /Kit |
