I wonder

I wonder as I wonder... I know I know, it should really be wander. I haven't misspelled anything. Aren't they similar though - wonder and wander. Isn't wondering a sort of roaming around of the mind. Searching for answers here and there.

I do wander in my mind and I do ask a lot of questions. I love to daydream, meditate, call it what you will, it's allowing the mind to wander - go where it will, see what it can find. Many times this wandering will cause me to wonder about a particular meandering of my mind. It happens in the shower, while driving, chopping vegetables, folding laundry or writing in my morning pages. That automatic routine of the body, allows my mind to wander where it will. (scary that it happens during driving huh?). At any rate, I wander.

I almost always wish that I had the time and ability to act on some of the things I come across. A new idea for a quilt pattern, a phrase I wish I could jot down, a new way of dong something tedious, thus making it more interesting.

I also love to wander. My favorite vacation is one where I can just go where the road leads me. Turn here, go straight here, pull over and look at that over there. I love road trips without a destination or a deadline.

Until next time...happy wa(o)ndering
