State of Being...Um' Challenged?

In response to Amber's challenge. Hey, you said my state at THIS moment.

To being or not to being

Is that the question?

Whether my cranial state affords the opportunity

To relish that which is generously bestowed

By the Master

Who if

Elects on any particular occasion

At the sole discretion of the Master

To forward my flimsy existence beyond the swirling

Tidy bowl ceramic vessel containing my current broth

To my next destination before the axle of my oxcart

Impales the sunrise

Thus assuring my soul

Is not lost among the other floating particles

Lovingly providing divine guidance to my inner voice that says

YES!

Relish!

Generous portions of Relish!

On my Dodger Dog

With onions

And mustard

Ooooofa!   Being is good!  Very good!

If I had a bunch of relish and onions my tummy would be pretty messed up too! They are so very good going down and nothing compares to a Dodger Dog! I love your humor and choice of words in your writings! ~Chessly
