Everling

everywhere I look it's sad to say people race by moving past time looking for something to quiet their hearts eager to show me all they have gained holding out hope against proven odds to race yet again and never say die

Wonderful truth, you have overturn the altar of modern idolatries with this, this more than philosophic proclamation ... this is elixir that could save us. Masterful write, my brother.

This is very interesting. Your observation is very astute. I enjoyed thinking as I read this write. I hope you don't mind, but I have a question about the part "holding out hope against proven odds." When you speak of proven odds, are you refering to the scientific views about us? Just asking? And thinking. Thank you for your comments.

The anxiety and perpetual searching of people seeking satisfaction is well captured, James. You have certainly won this "race." Happy Easter, Carolyn
