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

Thank you Andrea, this one is more an existential (beautiful) view that our universe offers, 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
Date: 2/27/2025 1:49:00 PM

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
Date: 2/27/2025 11:57:00 AM

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

Paula Goldsmith

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..................

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/27/2025 11:29:00 AM

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

ahh it's nice to get a bit of perspective! Excellent one liner - even in the grand scheme of things :)

Heya Dilly, there seems a certain inevitability that we will all go back into the mix again, I would have preferred the full 17 syllables that a regular Monoku allows, hopefully I’ve seeded enough perspective into this condensed version! Cheers David
