What if it is just us?
What if it is not just us?
Regardless, we are here.
What if there is a God?
What if there is no God?
Regardless, we are here.
What if life is all there is?
What if life is not all there is?
Regardless, we are here—
Living—
So, live your life;
Live it well.

Indeed. That's the long and the short of it. Thank you so much, my friend. Glad we are HERE (on MPS and otherwise) together! Have a great day! ๐๐ง ๐๐
Erm, what if Obi is all there is - or isn't?! Whops! You knew I was gonna say that - yes? LOL.
Indeed, Oi be certain you was going to say that, oi be! Thank you Mr. KenOrchi! Your time and your engagement are always appreciated! ๐คฃ๐๐ง ๐๐
We couldn't make up that name using certain accents or dialects. we couldn't say 'Oi be....' Aww! LOL.
And how did you know my real first name is Ken? heehee.
Oi be...I dunno...A little guinea pig might have whispered it to me. ๐คฃ
Existentialism at its finest? What it oddly triggered in me was John Paul Jones message to General Washington: "We have met the enemy and they are ours." But when I tried to begin that comment I couldn't see why or how on earth that made any sense with your latest, whence I deleted that comment. Just so you know. We seem indeed to have the moment wherein we stand, if that's what you're saying; and forsooth, let us live as we should...in the fear of the LORD, if only. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a none too subtly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
I love the quote. It's always intriguing how poems can spark those things in us. As for your analysis, you are spot on as I see it. Indeed, always in fear of and deference to the Lord. Amen. May it be so. You are most welcome, Missy. Thank you for your time, understanding and friendship. All very much appreciated!!!
Excellent write Tristan
Thank you so much, Tony! Much appreciated! ๐๐ง ๐๐
This reminds me of the Ferris Bueller quote "life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." We can spend hours of our lives with existential dread, with questions that may never be answered, but in the end, what really matters is how well we spent the time we knew we did have. Thanks for sharing! โจ๐
Abso-๐ฏ-lutely. Thank you so much, my dear friend, for your time and your understanding. Very much appreciated! ๐๐ง ๐๐

Amen, Dave! Many thank for your time and thoughts. ๐๐ง ๐๐
