No comprendo.
It’s after nine on a school night.
What the heck am I doing vertical? Actually more at a 90 degree angle.
Just checking in with Jana for a little Stream of Consciousness writing, that’s what.
Our prompt this week should we choose to except it:
I don’t understand…
Go.
I don’t understand the ways of the weather. The wind, the rain and the fog that rises some mornings.
I don’t understand the ways of the moon. How and when it changes shape. How is can light up the darkness causing shadows that look as noonday — or completely disappear.
I don’t understand why one person is cured of cancer and another’s body is consumed within months.
I don’t understand why the Gulf beaches have awesome white sand and blue water while the Atlantic is granular and packed. Okay. Maybe I do understand this a little.
I don’t understand the ways of the hawk I saw fly to the tippy top of a tree in our yard today. So thrilled was I to see him because all the leaves are still off the trees.
I don’t understand how our cats could slay a cardinal. My favorite bird. And I feel a stab of pain for the bird’s lifeless body and still look at my cat and think he was just obeying the way he was created.
TIME.
I guess there’s lots I don’t understand. But thankfully, I am surrounded by beauty and wonder every minute of every day.
Even if I don’t understand it.
What about you? What makes you wonder why?
