Hmmmmmm, I will have to give that a lot of thought. Once I come up with something, I will comment on your blog. Some good brain exercise for the weekend!

  Hi Kelly,
  
  You would be the one who would probably get it right before anyone else, but we'll see.

  I couldn't find a picture of George with a hat like this but the beard is just as white.

This is too much thinking for me at the moment. I have some initial thoughts like shadow, strength in numbers, sunlight.

Maybe later I can focus better but it's a good brain teaser

  I got that from the third line but it didn't seem to fit the entire riddle.

  Hello earthlingorgeous,

I go for shadow too.

I think the image in your post is a HINT.(The image of the question mark with its shadow)

  when i say "Question" or "Question Mark" it does not signifies the "?" symbol but its more like a problem or questions that keeps ticking your mind...

Hi Donald,
I agree that it could be your shadow but I think the answer may be "the past" as in the emotional baggage associated with past events.

BTW I would have left this comment on your blog but it's not set up for comments to accept only a username and url & I don't have a blogspot blog.

  Hi timethief,
  
  I didn't realize that. Thanks for pointing it out. That is something I will see if I can change.
  
  That's a unique answer, one I haven't thought of.
