2007/12/29 Wondering...WONDER. Look at that word. It's one of those that, the longer you look at it, the more strange looking it becomes. I'm already off to a weird start for this whole entry because of it. I constantly wonder. One can go to so many places wondering, when each thought leads to another.
So at this point I offer you the fact that in just naming this entry with one word, I am no longer being where I was to start with lol... but that's what it's all about, right?
To get back to the reason I'm here, I had a thought about 10 minutes ago. No telling now how it came to me, since my mind so easily wanders with wonder lol. But for some reason I thought of the familiar phrase "Oh, just take it with a grain of salt". And I've decided that along with the "intent" of that statement, in how it is used by people ("Oh, think nothing of it"), the sentence itself is useless and meaningless. Because, if you really think about it, a grain of salt is just like a grain of sand that contains an entire universe. Salt (in it's natural form, sodium chloride) is a part of Mother Earth, along with the other Stone People. It is ALIVE. It is older than you and me... it has seen more and experienced more than all of us put together as we are on this earth in our present form. Being of the Stone People it has a wisdom all its own. Next time you hear someone using that familiar phrase, think about it.
Having said that, I'm asking myself how I came to choose the word "Wondering" for this. I'm sure if I wonder (and wander) long enough, it will lead me back to the place I started. Because everything is a circle... and then there's natural law... and so much wonder in all things great and small... I wonder where I will go next...
