i was looking for something, actually contemplating something when i saw this image. what is it about moments of contemplation? is contemplation possibly a form of meditation when practiced correctly? can the world's problems be solved if more of us were more contemplative? my guess is yes. we would not have the vagaries of supply side voodoo economics. we would not have gotten involved in another expensive and indefinite war half way around the world under the guise of protecting our own interests. we would not be so likely to finance stadiums for billionaires and the millionaire sport figures who beg for them. we would have more intelligent conversations rather than simple rhetoric about global warming and what our place in the natural scheme of this finite resource planet is. we could come up with solutions to fossil fuels, have smaller neighborhoods, reduced work hours, substantial food resources and a more utopian-like existence. for animals that are so smart, we spend considerable amount of time making work for ourselves. maybe our dogs and cats have it right. eat, sleep, rest in the sun, play and start all over again. we scratch away for a meager existence to do a few things that we think will make us notable or famous or productive or something virtuous _________ . I guess you have to fill in your own blank here. So contemplate these things for a few minutes. What do you want your story to look like? BTW, this is not one of my images. I borrowed this from Matuko at flickr. Go see her work. It will give you something to contemplate.
