and I don't know what it is about me that is drawn to insanity. really isn't it an insane mind, not yours since this questions and others like it have been around forver, that comes up stuff like this. ultimately the human mind is design to recognize patterns and if there are non available it will make them up. that's all sanity is made up stuff we can all agree on. though now I am wondering if non existence even exist which sounds funny. crazy brain design = crazy god.

Ouf, that a big question, Joe!! Sometimes a panasea is relatively painless. If you lose your keys but have another set you can still drive off (might not make sense). But I'm sure there is 'existence' beyond in the 'non existence', the panacea here might be just accepting that it's there? You're so complex!!! best wishes, Love, Mikki

I don't know how non - existence can be explained. I like the title you chose - it is quite post modern. My health is O.K. and I am taking a course in "The Experimental Essay" at the New School University and have been working for the past 11 years at BMCC. I also write a monthly column for Barrs Postcard News. I have been doing that for the past 7 or so years. Yours Matthew Anish

Quite profound, Joe. I could not explain it. However, there is a small town in North Florida called Panacea. The folks there live in the pain of poverty. Very clever write, my friend. I am out of town until Wednesday, but wanted to say hi. Love you and your poetry, Carolyn

Thoughts such as these help one not to take reality for granted. The Almighty God is Existence itself (I AM Who Am) ergo outside of existence is a non reality and therefore the question applies for the sake of understanding the reality of existence being the basic foundation of all things. Very healthy question to pose, Joe, in a society of strange and unrealistic philosophies which can provide no foundation to further build up of logic. enjoyed this morning

Hmmm? I should think about this before I attempt an answer, Joe. Nevetheless in my humble thinking..and I mean real humble, : ) I'd say, no..'cause to "be" comes with pain and all the emotions attached to being. (don't you dare laugh) lol! Always, Annalise
