here's some random stuff that i sometimes wonder about:
do you ever feel invisible? do you ever feel like you're looking around at everyone else, but nobody is noticing you? do you ever walk past someone and maybe speak to them and they say nothing? that can be taken personally, but chances are they have other things on their minds. i've noticed that lots of older people actually walk around speaking to themselves. or maybe they're praying. i really don't know, but it looks strange.
do you ever look around at the people near you and wonder what they're thinking? ever wonder wonder what music is playing in the cars that you pass on the road? ever see people in traffic looking stressed and wonder what's got them so upset? ever see someone drivin' and crying (that was the name of a GREAT band in the 90's, BTW) and wonder what happened to them to make them cry. do you ever pray for these people when you see these things? if not, you should. i think the face that people put on when they drive is their real face. it lets you know how they really feel about things. i think there are more people in the world who are sad and unfullfilled than happy and content - and that is sad to me.
do you ever wonder what life would be like if you were someone else? i used to look at my brother and wonder what life looked like through his eyes. i wondered as a child if the colors of life looked the same through his eyes as they did mine. i used to wonder if food tasted the same to him as it did me...of if things the smell of things was the same to him. i used to wonder what things made him feel like when they happened to him. i knew how they made me feel, but i just wondered what things felt like to him. i used to ask him all sorts of strange questions about these things and it would make him laugh. i haven't thought of that in many years, but today i did for some reason.
anyway...
