Writings in the Sand

Thoughts destined to be washed away by the tides of life.

I've been studying my cover photo for a while now, and it seems to me that it is more than just a photo of what is there that can be seen, more than just three white rocks stacked on a beach. It contains an important question about the future, about what happens long after the photographer has gone. What will happen to our pile of stones when the tide comes in? Will it topple or has the architect built this structure at a safe distance?

I don't know what will happen to these words that I stack here on the sand. They may prove safely distant, or they may be swallowed up by a rush of self-doubt. They may be here for a season. They may lose their balance and be scattered by the shoreline, or be hidden away under shifting sands. Perhaps someday, the tides of life will reclaim them.

Or maybe that's just a bunch of poetic, romantic nonsense. After all, this is just a blog.

That is certainly how it happens according to my research. The problem is knowing which product because by the time you see them, they are in everything they could access.

I think sometimes those bugs are in the product when you buy it. You can't seem inside the box.

I agree with you. If it aint broke don't fix it. Like the new math. Why mess with a tried and true formula?

I agree with Beholden

If I got on the floor to fold things, someone would have to help me up. A disaster or comedy in the making (depending on your point of view). I'm over the "experts" on social media. It's just one more thing to waste my time...LOL

The big problem for me would be getting down on the floor to do the job. There's no way these days that I'd be able to get up again. At my age, one learns that the floor is a distant and unknown country.
