This was the first riddle I wrote on TDT.net. Some of the old-timers, i.e Jon, might remeber it. I figured to give it a whirl here. I wish I could retrieve some of the riddles I wrote back in the day.:doh:
Alone, I fall silent.
I hold fast the generations.
I can be seen in the windows of your soul.
What am I?

You speak true a treed goose for you.
The third clue is the "Purkinje tree" a pattern of blood vessels in the retina of the eye. Look at a blank wall in a dark room and shine a penlight upward at your eye and you'll see the dendritic braches of a tree. For further information:

Well done!

I thought I e-mailed them to you. It was a pain in the ass. I can think of only a handful of folks I would do that for. (you being one, Mike.)
I'll see if I was using my Gmail account to send it, if so...I should have a copy.

Yes, you did Jon. I saved it on my old computer's hard drive and it later bit the dust. I lost all my files. :doh:
My body's hard drive also has a bit of a problem retrieving saved files. Haha!

OOps I forgot to look. I'll get to it soon. This is why I let Gmail have all my files. An almost perfect backup.
I am concerend That I used a Hotmail account to send it though. I'll get back to you soon on this.
