Great contemplation, David. Just a thought… in the infinity of possibilities in the infinity of time… may we one day come back as ourselves?

Of course Terry, it’s an absolute inevitability that an infinite cosmos offers a perpetual cycle of infinite possibilities, cheers David

In all midst of things, a hint of reincarnation? I think there is something to it. Cannot contemplate anything clever with 14 syllables as well as you and so I won't. I fell hard for the 'cameo'.

David Kavanagh

That indeed is the question Anaya, can we be aware of our own death when dead, if it’s anything like before birth, then I think not :)

Beautiful clarification "on the universal timescale we are a mere cameo, but one that always seems alive from our own perspective"

Probably more eternal occurrence than reincarnation Anaya; on the universal timescale we are a mere cameo, but one that always seems alive from our own perspective, 14 syllables is very tight, I’ll be delighted if this one makes the cut! Cheers David

I read your reply to Dilly and you seeded your intent deeply enough in my mind that they don’t need watering for them to sprout. I can read you as if they already have leaves like tea to only be interpreted one way. Dust in the wind we may all be some day.

David Kavanagh

Heya Lin, you know me long enough to read my mind, no tea leaves needed lol! I’m a great believer in dust recombobulating itself, all we need is an eternal universe and anything is possible, perspectively speaking anyway cheers David

I enjoyed reading your wonderful one liner write. You said so much in just one line. "Good Luck" Looks like we both did this one. Have a wonderful day writing away..................

Thanks Paula, 14 syllables leaves no room for messing about lol! So why not go for the big picture lol! Cheers David
