I wonder...

Wonder, to ponder or deliberate at length.

As you might know, deliberating at length often leads us down any
variety of intriguing mental pathways in the altered state and into the
most delightful past time known as day dreaming. I remember one time
being told that as long as I daydreamed, I would never amount to
anything, and I was just wasting my time.
It is precisely during one of those glorious forays that I chanced
upon a little known pathway, of my mind. Not expecting to find another
soul in MY secluded world, I asked who are you...
I wonder.
You wonder who you are; don't you know.
Of course, I wonder.
Well, of course!
Suddenly it was all so clear; I wonder.
That part of us that somehow never looses our child-like curiosity. That
part of us that somehow remains the innocent, in awe of a raindrop, or a
snowflake. It is that part that is surprised, believes in Santa... that
dares to dream...to feel... to risk being hurt, and yet knows it will
survive, even triumph.
It is that part of us that says: I wonder what would happen if;

I wonder what would happen if someone said, Have a nice day, and
really meant it.
I wonder what would happen if the sky was red instead of blue, and
if birds swam and fish flew.
I wonder if I look inside myself, will I find divinity, or a dark
shadow.
I wonder if I close my eyes real tight, will the world disappear.
Will I be all right?
I wonder what would happen if we humans could truly love
unconditionally, like a puppy or kitten. Would society go to the dogs?
I wonder what would happen if all the clocks in the world, really
stopped. What would it feel like to really be in the moment?
I wonder what would happen if the sky really fell. Who would be
there to pick it up? What would happen to today?
I wonder what would happen if I truly believe that I have no limits.
What excuse would I have for achieving less than miracles? Would I even
need one?
I wonder what would happen if, in middle age, I realize that I
didn't become my parent. I became me.

I wonder if Mother Earth's children can move from evolving through
pain, misery and suffering, to evolving through love, joy and
compassion.
I wonder when we are going to realize, that we think about
ourselves. I wonder if we can save us from ourselves.
I wonder what would happen if I said I love you instead of thank you
and goodbye.

I wonder is the ultimate expression of self... it's when you take I
wonder and turn it into; I am. It's the power to take your world and
make it what you envision the world to be...
Just think what would happen if everyone did this.

this is a good read,and somebody had to dream of th wheel,
or to fly,of even walking on th moon...

to Wonder only opens a door into the imagination,and from there,
there are no limits but those you put upon yourself...

from the Deepest waters to the farthest reaches of our minds.
it is the Dreams that got it all started on our road into
th New Fronteer,new Beginings,and New Years...

I wonder...
what if...
could it be...

all very powerful questions,if one just sat to ponder them...

to open the minds of people to the possibilities...
will we...
do we...
could we...
should we...
dare we even hope for world PEACE???

oh it is possible,no boubt in my mind...
but will humanity survive th ordeal
of reaching for THAT BRASS RING???
