today I was reading a book in which a youth stated, “I wish I knew the future.” Her brother replied, “No you don’t; that would take all the fun out of it.” Couldn’t help it; I began to ponder: What would I do, if I knew what tomorrow would bring? What would I do if I knew the outcome of my life, given its current path? If I didn’t like what I learned, would I endeavor with all my might to change it? Would I fight with every bit of strength I could find inside. Would I resolve to alter the end result? Or would I give up on my current plans; having decided there was nothing I could do anyway, so why try? I wonder. And if I gave up, would that affect my destiny? Would it be a chicken/egg thing? Would my future come about only because I found out, and everything I did, because of that knowledge, is what created my final fate? I wonder. I ponder. © October 6, 2001 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Most of the things I wonder happen to be questions with no answers..: ) [This message has been edited by RosePetal (edited 10-06-2001).] |

The egg thing is strange. If you hold it just right...it's one of the hardest things to break...otherwise...it shatters quite easily. Too many eggs in one basket...Don't count your chickens before they hatch. And yet I've found more than on one occasion two yolks inside one egg. Which brings one to question even the egg. Which came first?....acceptance that we'll never know. Sorry but you made me ponder on this one! Hugs. Sincerely, Regina |
