old old riddle...

[afghooey]

nope, nope.

It's not something as obscure as 'thought' or 'god' or 'a riddle'. It's quite literal.

Well, except that it's not 'literally' alive, o'course.

kindprincess: when you try to grasp energy, it doesn't slip through your fingers, and it's still energy. (everything is energy)

Here's one I made up a while ago:

I can live for millions of years, but I am constantly changing.
When you try to grasp me, I slip through your fingers.
If you did grasp me, I would be no more.
What am I?

Sand??

or WATER

[afghooey]

when you grasp water, it's still water.

Fire.

Fire.

Is it fire?

[afghooey]

Good guess with snow, but it doesn't slip through your fingers until after you grasp it, and by then it's already something else.

Not fire either. ( though fire does kick ass )

[Mista Sippi]

ooooh fire, good guess
