Certainty

Bella Shepard

This I know for sure

Certainty is illusive

Always out of reach

    Ohhh, we know it all. We're know-alls. Some think they are! lol.

    You seem absolutely sure of yourself .. & who am I to argue .. furthermore, I am convinced that there is a fundamental universal truth squeezed comfortably within those twelve strategically placed words, up there .... Neville

      Why thank you Neville for being so kind. But if truth be told, and we must always tell the truth, I think ,therefore I am convinced that I don't know diddly-squat. You see, there you go, I don't even know where that phrase comes from, will have to google it.

      You certainly expressed this more succinctly than I ever could, Bella.
      But additionally, the point you make re 'diddly-squat' above is well made. My speech is riddled with such colloquialisms occasionally. Google does (sometimes) provide the answer.

        Such fun to commune with you my friend! Thank you as always.

        So very true in many ways Bella but occasionally we do know.

          You are so right my friend. Thank you for as always!

          Just like that girl last night, elusive, out of reach, and probably out of my league.

          • Bella Shepard

            Your witticism puts a big smile on my face. Thank you dear friend

            Bella the paradox in this statement still echoes in my mind. And that I'm certain of, I think.

            • Bella Shepard

              Thank you dear poet, I love your comments. I think, therefore I am positively sure, that I know absolutely nothing at all, most of the time, maybe.

              Wise words✨ Very true!
