We live in a world of what ifs.
What if we did something else,
or what if we weren’t there (as
sometimes we shouldn’t be
when it comes down to the
wrong place at the right time).
What if it never happened?
What if we had responded
differently or if we had taken
the advice we were told?
Would we have been so bold?

Is what you do enough?
For who?
For you?
Self-doubt?
Self-love?
Self-centered?
Is it selfish to think mainly
of what I need to do for me,
myself, and I?
Why?
When will I find resolve to
my never-ending queries?
Will it be enough?
Do you still doubt?
Do you struggle with answers,
as much as the questions?
Can you decide?
Are you trying?
Is that enough?

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

If I had all the answers,
I would have to know
every question.
If you know
each question,
it leaves little room
for curiosity.
Without curiosity,
there is nothing left
to ask?
We learn by asking,
we live by learning.
We question,
and then question
each answer. Every
time.
Time itself provides
questions, and the
answers are not
always there. So we
keep asking, or waiting
for the answers.
Keep questioning
the how and why, and
the when, and who;
always mindful that
some questions are
not worth asking.
If you ask the question
you must be prepared
for the answer.
I do not have all
the answers, and still
have so many
questions. There is
so much to learn, and
so much to live.
The more you know,
the more you grow.
