Only a Second or Two  by Larner 7 Review(s)

Yup, life is if anything uncertain--something which I imagine the high-spirited Tooks don't quite like learning!

Author Reply: Accepting we are not in control of our own destinies is not really something we want to believe, particularly when we are young. It's a lesson we all learn, all too often somewhat painfully.

The title is very appropriate, you know *grin* Never say never, indeed!

Author Reply: Oh, how I DO know! Heh! I keep getting tripped up by it!

Wow, true, and startlingly thought-provoking. It's so easy to say "I'll never!" right now...but the truth is one never knows, really.

Author Reply: Oh, yes, my Lady. It's a lesson I'm still having to learn from time to time, and I'm almost fifty-nine now!

I learned a long time ago that saying 'never' can be dangerous!

Lovely incidents!!!

Author Reply: Oh, I DO know, Agape! Have had to eat my words so MANY times!

Never say never indeed!

Life would be boring if we couldn't change our opinions or find new aims. In fact life is like the road in old Bilbo's walking song. Or in other words: life is an adventure! We shouldn't forget that.

Author Reply: Life has a way of doing what it wants, and to the devil with what WE think we want.

Thanks so, Andrea.

Never make promises you are not sure you can keep!
More please,
Lynda

Author Reply: Indeed--who hasn't found that true in our lives?

Thanks, Lynda--more, of course, coming tomorrow (or even this evening!).

This is so true to life. I liked it very much.

Author Reply: And here you are NOT the only one, Linda. How many of us find ourselves having to do precisely what we'd never intended to do!

Thanks.
