The Question of Being

There once was a soul in dismay,
Who pondered life’s path day by day.
“To be… or not be?”
He asked quietly —
As the world kept its answers at bay.

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)
A playful twist on Shakespeare’s most famous line — a limerick exploring doubt, choice, and the quiet courage it takes to face life’s deepest questions.

Self‑Discovery and Identity — “What Was and What Will Be

Forged by Choice

Life is not forged by chance alone,
But by the seeds that we have sown. Each crossroads asks what we believe,
And what we’re willing to achieve. Through every choice our paths rejoice,
For destiny is forged by choice.
