And I wonder
\nI wo-wo-wo-wo-wonder.
\nWhy<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our “plan” is to do some loafing around on the State Park end of the lake.<\/p>\n

Unless something else comes to mind.<\/p>\n

Who knows.<\/p>\n

Like a lot of us, I wonder about things. Especially when I have a lot of free time. Like when I’m spending a lot of time reclining and gazing at clouds, trees, water and blue sky. Stars.<\/p>\n

Do you ever wonder what would happen if everything we did that was karmically worthy of reward or punishment resulted in a person receiving that reward or punishment immediately on our behalf? Sort of our karmic twin.<\/p>\n

Would it change our behavior for the better? Or would we continue to muddle along like we do now?<\/p>\n

I’m guessing we wouldn’t change. I mean we do stuff all the time that hurts us, even though we know it will.<\/p>\n

Maybe we’d be kinder if someone else was reaping what we sow.<\/p>\n

I wonder.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to wonder when you’re watching the wind blow waves across a lake and boats drift by.<\/p>\n
