Q is for Questions

Q is for Questions, they are how we expand our knowledge and understand the world around us.

Without questions there can be no answers, there would be nothing to ponder, no learning. The answers are not always simple, leading to more questions but it is not something that we can avoid in this life. The more questions we ask the more answers we get. The more answers we get the more our knowledge increases.

In a world without questions everything would continue without change. No one would ever want to know why things are the way they are. No one would questions the fairness of how things are or attempt to change them. The world would be full of people that acted as robots doing merely as they were told without thinking of the consequences.

Questions are vital to continuing the learning process and preventing becoming stuck in a world without change or knowledge. Asking questions should never stop, once we stop asking it means that we are either too stubborn to learn, or dead. We will not manage all the answers in our lifetimes.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
