"Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust" refers
To "relative states."

Although Being is
Permanent, "relative states"
Of Being are not.

[Rich Note: (Photo Caption) Former USSR Parade Flag: A flag that represented a "Political State of Being" that turned to "ashes" a lot sooner than anyone expected.]

Hello :o),

I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 4,600 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.

With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)

As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
