January 6--I Wonder...

Happy the man who boldly dares to defend the object which he loves.  --Ovid

    And paranoid should be the man who refuses to defend the object which he loves! If the folks who claim to love me won't defend me, is that love?!? Upon further consideration, I see that I've lived long enough to categorize some things as not defensible. 
    In roaming through life and observing things with an eye for blog-post inspiration, I often come up with a question of wonderment. My husband baked cookies last evening. Who made the first criss-cross with a fork in a peanut butter cookie and why did she/he do that? Why do we still do that? Why are cardinals red and not green or purple? My grandsons are an extraordinary source of wonderment. In a fetus--how does that cell know to become a fingernail and this one know to become a nerve cell, and so on? What are they conscious of from before birth? I learned from the Astronomy Picture of the Day that "the space between stars is so vast that when galaxies collide, the stars in them usually do not collide." Huh?!?!
    Life is full of wonder if only we pay attention!
