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

The Future You Create

The future waits in quiet clay,
Shaped by the hands that work today.

No distant star can chart your way,
Like choices made along the day.

Each step becomes tomorrow’s view,
The future lives in what you do.
