I find myself wondering all the time. Sometimes my wonders are rather deep wonders such as what is God or who am I? Other times my wonders don’t even make sense to me like I wonder whether or not we have gentlemen ladybugs or why do the male birds get all the colorful plumage? What I like about wondering is that you can wonder all day and all night and you never have to have an answer. You just wonder and wonder.
Wondering always leads me into more wondering on a particular topic. The other day I wondered whether or not men go to heaven. Then I wondered why would men go to heaven anyway. This led me to wondering what heaven would be like without men, which led me to wonder where men might go if they didn’t go to heaven. You can see how all of this can be rather circular and even nonsensical. Oh my, how this wondering takes one on such a fun journey.
Another thing about wondering is that you can make comments between wonders and no one cares. Do men go to heaven? Well, why would they when 99 44/100 percent of them cheat on their wives and girlfriends. Just look at the headlines today. And, if there were no men in heaven Saturday and Sunday would not be filled with sports on T.V. and women could do all the shopping they wanted! Where do men go if not to heaven? Only heaven knows!
Other wonders are neither deep nor lighthearted. As we drive along our interstate highways I always wonder what the landscape looked like when native Americans were the only inhabitants. When I am driven to distraction by one thing or another I often wonder what life might be like without those nasty distractions. Or, I wonder what my dog really thinks about me. I know that he tries to speak English without much success. I wonder if he is as frustrated that he can’t speak as I am that he can’t speak.
Finally, there are those things we call wonder of wonders. But those are things like the great pyramid or the hanging gardens of Babylon. I never wonder about them. As I reflect on my wonders I realize that none of my wonders will ever have answers. They are only wonders and will remain wonders so long as I wonder. I wonder why?
