I was just reading this book Space by james A Mitchner. he is a great author. As he told of this boys life and the events of one evening of his life that would start the plans for much of his future. I became filled with wonder as was most likely intended. This boy John was so amazed by the stars, so overtaken by them that you just couldn't help but identify with him. Maybe this wonder is what I have been searching for lately, for my life.

I have been feeling it a bit lately. In my last post i talked of steping back and observing my life within the bigger picture. Not taking it too seriously. i have written about this before. But it usually fades, and i forget the feeling. I do take all of the small things in my life seriously. Every little thing, though I would like to not take it too seriously, i don't know if that can happen. I hope it can.

In my plans for europe I have been feeling this wonder a lot. Today at my new (old) room at my dad's house i hung up maps to continue this woner. But i deciced not to stop with just Europe maps. I hung up maps that show history. I hung up consteletion maps. I thought of learning a lot in history class this coming semester. I decided not to limit my focus, and at that moment my wonder. Maybe this wonder is similar to the big picture idea. I allow my ego to shrink down and all that is out there get much larger. i suddenly am not so important. My future or my now are not, because whatever i am pondering is so consuming. So infinate.

Or maybe it is just a well written book.

Ever wonder

everytime I take a shit it's a cosmic expirience, religion and chemicals are the key to the future.
