    It only SEEMS that way, because our existence is tied to a system of entropy, wherein we experience the flow of energy toward homogeneity as a temporal state. In fact, your existence is eternally fixed, in that process, as part of it. From your perspective, you are alive only for a short time. For the rest of the universe, your existence is a thread in a larger tapestry, which endures.

    “ … Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

     Bears all its sons away;

    They fly forgotten, as a dream

    Dies at the opening day…”

    Angus: Lads, say a prayer, I’m afraid Harry Beaton is dead!

    Tommy: Looks like he fell on a rock and it crushed in his head.

    —Brigadoon, “The Chase”

    Worst song lyrics – ever!

    As they pirouetted across the stage, an ominous voice resounded a destiny they never dreamed of…..doomed aspirations filled their whole beings.

    In any event, we don’t last past dying. So enjoy ’em while you got ’em. Dancing, cogitations on existence, the whole nine.

    I’m right now reading the comics, comments and Frog Blog on my iPhone screen, and feeling like I am travelling…to where and how, I don’t know, but I have a good seat with all of the travel entertainment options open to me.

    Am I the only one feeling this way?!

    Yeah. Well, it’s true, you know. Sooner or later, stuff happens and you get dead fish dead. In the meantime, however, the daily goal is “don’t get dead”! We do what we can, as long as we can. Then, we don’t….

    I have a question: are these ballerinas any relation to the jewelry-box ballerina mentioned in Frog Applause™ Vol. 1, No . 1?
