I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?

Sound like fun. Here's mine:

"I see the beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place."

What am I?

i cheated and looked it up, but here's another one.

three lives have I. Gentle enough to soothe the skin. Light enough to caress the sky. Hard enough to crack rocks.
What am I?

A circle?

Water?

I've never much liked riddles. They are always vague, with tens if not hundreds of answers that could fit reasonably, but arbitrarily choose what is and is not right.

The answer to samuelfire's riddle is the letter E.

While I was going to the store I met a man with 7 wives. Each wife had 5 cats. Each wife had 7 kittens. How many people were going to the store?

The letter E is right

BJ- Just you

Jacen- I'm also going with water (Steam/clouds, liquid form, and ice)

"I have cities with no people
Mountains without land
Rivers with no water
You can hold me in your hand."

What am I?

I guess it's a map.

I'm sorry I don't have any in reserve... well except for the sphinx's riddle (too classic). And the ones from bilbo and gollum, in case noone has read 'bilbo the hobbit' yet..

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town
And beats high mountain down.

man, one of these days i am going to have to reread that book.

I looked up the answer. It's much more vague and far-less thought-provoking than that.

I got three:

I will come back tomorrow to high five you yesterday.

When will I high five you?

Second one: What gets wet as it dries?

Third one: What has four wheels and flies?

"What force and strength cannot get through
With a gentle touch, I can do
And many in a street would stand
Were I not a friend at hand."
and
"Black within and red with out
And four corners round about."
What are they?

Map is correct

Jacen- I'm guessing time

Feeras- 1. Yesterday? I'm really not sure. 2. Towel/Sponge 3. Garbage turck

Wert- 1. Key 2. I'm guessing a dark house.

The more of me you take, the more of me you leave behind. What am I?
