For some strange reason I have been thinking a lot about butterflies lately.
And if I think of something long enough I begin to really think about it. My mind starts to wonder off in weird directions. Once I saw this teeny tiny ant, and my mind began to roam around: can you image how small it's heart must be? I mean the ant could fit on a pin head so it's littl brain and tiny heart have to be really small...........and what about it's poop? It has to be soooooooo small you would never see it sitting there on your lunch.
So you see, when I say I wonder, I mean it.
Back to butterflies. When I was little I always loved caterpillars and playing with them. I don't think I fully understood that it would one day be a beautiful butterfly. I know my dad hated them and would step on every one he could.
So now I am thinking of that caterpillar making it's little cocoon, and sleeping (?) for a couple weeks only to wake up a butterfly.
I wonder...........can that caterpillar really know he will wake up with wings one day? wasn't it hard enough to learn to walk with all those legs and now it will have to learn to fly?..........do ya think it's painful to go from caterpillar to butterfly? look at how different the bodies are.............does the butterfly remember being a caterpillar?
I can't get my wondering mind wrapped around an animal, excuse me an insect, I can't get my mind wrapped around an insect changing into something else. How cool would it be to watch what happens inside that cocoon?
Ok, I told you I get way out there in my wondering if I have thought about anyone one thing too long.
So lately I have wondered about the teeny tiny heart (and poop) of those teeny tiny aunts, and about a caterpillar morphing into a butterfly.
Do you wonder as weirdly as I do? It's just me isn't it? Yeah, I thought so.

I thin that those of us that stay at home a lot tend to think more 'cause we have more time . . . and once you get your mind wrapped around something, just can't let it go. Blessings my friend, Penny http://journals.aol.com/firestormkids04/FromHeretoThere

I use to have butterflies on onld yellr my 65 impala
Oh Kathy-- you are turning into me! Be afraid!! LOL I am fascinated by insects and wonder the same things. Always have. I used to obsess about mayflies because they live less than 30 hours and I used to wonder what that would be like. What I do in that short amount of time?? I'm glad you're posting again!! :)

I'm glad I wandered in here, you're my kind of people, my mind goes 75 miles per hour, but I have a little problem, the doctor diagnosed me with acute short term memory loss, so I say it's an advantage, I can think about the same thing over and over, and never remember. I love your post. gg
If we stop wondering about things I think we really miss out. So keep on wondering!!

Thinking about these things does not seem odd to me( thought I may be odd, myself) I've been wondering how a iris knows exactly how and when to bloom. Margo
Okay, so I don't think you are weird at all. Not only do I think about all these things, but I think about what God is trying to teach us through them. Like why is a butterfly a cocoon before it becomes a butterfly? Why does it have to stay so long as a cocoon? I am imagining b/c it has to practice transforming before it turns into a more perfect state. I think the Lord has all kinds of lessons for us in each thing of nature, and if we look at them, we will learn a lot. I believe He planned it that way. If we only look deeper, we learn a lot. So no, I don't think you are weird if you think a lot. God bless, a fellow thinker ;)

I wonder, too, like how my Chihuahua can function with a brain the size of an olive(I've seen it on an X-Ray. And what about those 1 pound mini dogs-are their brains the size of a peanut? how do they function at all. This is the way I wander in my wondering. Margo
