Tad, you shouldn’t think about these things. Like when I’m up at night thinking about the vastness of the universe and how much else there is out there and how little I mean in the scope of things. And when I think about death: how God could not exist and how I could just dissappear which is the scariest thing for me.
Late at night in the dark is not the best time for thinking about this.
You can say you’re not scared but the fact is, it’s scary.

I agree you shouldnt think about these things. when I have those nights, I just think about how I need to live up life. We are taught that tomorrow isn’t certain so that we live each day and not take the days we have for granted. I may just be some teenager with big thoughts but hey I think I have a point. You really captured the moment here though so bravo.

you should think about these things. Now my friends PJ and Blu will probably come after me with pitchforks, but although they are being very encouraging, as I usually am, the conclusion that you have made here is a satisfying one for me, one I encourage you to pursue. In this case, I’m not going to try to soothe the itch because it’s an itch for knowledge. No balms here. Go seek out your peace. The journey may be treacherous, but don’t stop until you are satisfied.

Bandaid concert sang: "We are the world and we are the children " I add so lets start living.
Peace is a tricky one. The world searches for peace and so do we. It is an inner calm as well as a calm world.
It gets harder as we get older because we question the fundamentals of everyday life. Carpe Diem Tad.

Thank you all for your kind notes, wisdom, and humble strength. I really needed to get some feedback on this one, so thank you again.

I’ve felt the same on many occasions Tad, funny thing is though all those times we’ve stood with curled toes gripping frantically at the lip of that chasm we never fall in. I’ve tentatively reached the conclusion that it isn’t what we find at the end of the road mate, and when it yawns so darkly it means somebody, somewhere is just incredibly bored…
