Algebra For The Soul


Magpie # 91

(Regret + y does not = fulfillment)




All of yesterday's regrets are 100 chairs we can no longer fill
yet we will create even more for tomorrow
foolishly trying to fill them today.

    Carrie,

    Life does give us some 'hills to climb.' We must remain strong in the face of those challenges.

    You have made me think of algebra in a new way!!

    Best wishes, Eileen

    You've create a lot of depth in a very few words. I always admire that - it's not an easy effect to create. I hope the dark-haired girl solves her equation...
