    Default No poetry, just prose ...

    A good start ...

    from MikeF
    Instead, EVERYTHING in life is but a contract. We control nothing except ourselves.
    Since Hammarabi's name is mentioned in vain, I have to get a little legal. So, lots of things in life are "contracts"; but lots of things are not. They go by the names of such as "torts", "criminal acts" - to take into account bad guys who are not very agreeable.

    Not sure about control - maybe it should be "we control nothing". Period. Better to learn how to ride the wave - and be concerned not how to control it. My lesson learned from the beautiful photo.

    Just some thoughts for you two poets.

    PS: The purpose of being a squirrel, of course.
