Have Fun with Creative Wondering

Have Fun with Creative Wondering

Laced

Sitting up,

laced fingers

resting on my abdomen,

some of the time

my thumbs laced

as well, but

at others pressed

lightly together.

Is this a pose

of relaxation?

I don't know;

it's just a question.

Seems possible

the Indian-inspired

practitioners

who sit with

their hands curled open,

palms up, cupped

or separate, are

more ready to receive,

but I really

don't know.

To Ponder

            1.   Sometimes it’s fun to ask might-be trivial questions of

                  myself when I truly don’t know the answer.

            2.   This strikes me as useful as well as being a pleasant

                  and even amusing activity.

            3.   Upon thinking things over (my behavior), I might learn

                  something—come to know what I don’t know; declare

                  if it matters or not.

            4.   This seemingly aimless wondering might in time bring

                  me to a conclusion that improves my life just a smidgen.

            5.   A flight attendant once told me she believed passengers

                  who lock their ankles at takeoff are showing their 

                  anxiety.

            6.   Is she right? I don’t know, but it seems when my legs

                  are separated anywhere I’m seated, I’m more at ease.

            7.   So that brings me to the matter of lacing my hands and

                  pressing my thumbs together. For me, that’s worth

                  facing.
