 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: If you could be somewhere warm right now, where would you chose and why? --- I am already in a place warm, right now. Then, sometimes, when the heat is too much, I dream of Alaska and put up snow photos on my computer’s screen. I guess it is human nature to want the opposite. This, I think, is due to the ambivalence we feel about our own minds and selves. Also, life gives us many choices. Most of the time, this makes us feel we didn’t make the right choice, even if the outcome of the leftover choices could have been similar or worse than the choices we’ve made. We have to admit that each choice is a trial and each trial has the potential for errors. It is fine to accept the trial and error choices we’ve made; after all, look at evolution. Its every trial has a different outcome. Fish can’t live on land. We can’t really breathe underwater. Birds and some insects can fly, but most animals and people cannot do that on their own. All these are the results of the many different choices evolution has made. The reason for our discontent might just be due to nature's urging us to change, so the status quo may lead to new creations, findings, and experiments. Coming back to the “somewhere warm” question, have you ever heard of what we, in Florida, call ‘snowbirds’? Snowbirds are those folks who live up north during the hot summer months and move to Florida before during the cold season. Nomads of a sort, so to speak. Yet, that, too, has its negative issues, since I know several snowbirds who complain about keeping house in two places that are so far away from each other. As I said earlier, human nature! |

Cohen You decorated my life (Kenny Rogers) Through the Years (Kenny Rogers) I did it my way @@  My final Comment: Yeah, sure! Big Deal! |
