When I say, 'centre' I don't mean that in a physical sense but more of an emotional one as: "Gee, you were the centre of attention tonight!"
I do know what you mean though - I think in the vastness of forever anywhere 'you' are could be the centre.

Hi Ellis, yes it is nice to see Rev's posts being answered, he does have some very interesting points, as have you. Glad you are on the mend. And I agree with you. We should treat happenings in nature with a lot more 'serious respect'. I went through the Ash Wednesday (Aus Feb 83) fires. It did seem 'they' - the powers that be, hadn't learned from that terrible time. But in light of the recent Victorian (Aus) fires I think the policy of stay and defend versus evacuate, is being seriously looked into.
