The Saying Goes ...

The saying goes
Everything happens for a reason
Is this true?
No one knows
Exactly what the future holds
We choose to believe
Because our lives
Are filled with confusion
Uncertainty and disillusion
We pause to contemplate
And deliberate the concept of fate
Countless hours into the night
Hoping that we might
Find an answer that fits
One that makes sense
Of all the little bits that
Are supposed to come together
Yet, I have never
Questioned whether or not
Fate exists.
I believe in it.
I can close my eyes and trust
My life has a path to travel
I choose not to try
And unravel the why
Or the what, when or who.
However, I do
Have one hope in mind
That maybe, in time
I will get to be with you.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
