What Is Its Secret

How is it possible What is its secret It has no eyes It has no brain No receptors No signs of life whatever Yet here it is This blank page godlike Staring a hole into my soul

Yes, Gershon, I feel your pain. That darn tabula rasa strikes again. The evils of the blank slate. RATS :-(

If there is a blot on an otherwise blank page, why are we concerned by the shame and not the hidden secrets of the blank paper that caused the scandal? If you understand my comment, you are a genius, Gershon.

Here is my 'genius' (lol) response to your question, Shirley: It's 'the missing tile' syndrome. 1,000 tiles in a beautiful ceiling. 1 tile is missing. What is everyone's focus on? ~ Jens the Genius. Keep smiling, Shirley!

A blank page creates a hole sometimes, but can open up new vistas too. A very intelligent observation !

You're right, Valsa. A blank page might as well have a hole in it. That way, it matches the hole in my head. Smiles, Gershon
