Sculpture ~ The Thinker ~ Auguste Rodin What's life for? "To be or not to be", sums up me: questioning everything. Should I go or say no? Do I fight or take flight? Close my eyes or apprise all that's swirled in the world? Go outside, take a ride? Or stay home, write a poem? Read a book? Take a look at the news, or refuse? Leave my job, be a slob - or work more at each chore? Help to feed those in need? Answers come, but where from? Deep within, where it's been waiting for "To be or not to be", now I see: always start with your heart - there you'll find peace of mind. written 7 Sep 2020

To swing or to take - to bunt or to steal - to stay or to go - the questions of life well written my friend and succintly stated! The heart of love is always a place of peace when ambivalence steals our serenity. Congratulations on your first place win my friend!
