The Ponder

                   "To Be,or Not To Be"

                   Life and Death

                   "A Stitch in time saves Nine"

                   Do it right the first time, or was it

                   live life 'til the cup spillith?

                   "Have Not, Want Not"

                   Is that to say, having no money

                   my dreams of richness shall fill

                   my coffer?

                   "To Coin a Phrase"

                   To be paid handsomely for every

                   breath taken?

                   Yet the strife to make sense of that

                   senseless, drains the brain

                   remains to sustain...pondering

                   In all truth, what part did God play?

vey interesting thoughts created here, I find it hard to ask "What part did God play?" God played the part of Teacher, giving us to role as 'player'.

I also often find myself pondering past and future and it seems to me that we need to 'live life to the fullest'
and Carpe' D'iem, 'Seize the day'. These old adages fit along with the times of confusion and chaos that we live in today, never knowing when or where the next strike will occur. This piece you have here is an extraordinary display of many of the thoughts we were all thinking and feeling on this day of horrifying loss of life, Thank you!!!!
