Mystery and Wonderment by Therese Vahland

Mysteries of the World

There are many great mysteries in the world - how it works, how the solar system works, how tiny ants can carry large objects over very long distances. 

Television shows try to tell us over and over that the only mysteries worth delving into are murder mysteries. Why do people kill each other? 

I notice on the telly that all the murder mysteries are getting more violent. Repeatedly the writers have the women detectives doing the shooting of the bad guys. Wrong move guys. Leave women out of it. We do not want to show women as being the killers. Women give life, not take it.

Women Hold the Greatest Mystery

Women hold one of the greatest mysteries of life on our planet. Women can give birth. That is one thing women can do that men have not been able to do in the last 50-60,000 years.

Wonderment

We wonder at the beauty of a baby when it is just born. We wonder how most babies are just right. They have all their fingers and toes and have them in all the right places. 

We wonder how the cry of all babies sound alike no matter what nationality they are born into.

We wonder at baby chickens and how they get themselves out of their eggshell. 

We wonder at the size of icebergs and are amazed at how they melt when they are surrounded by cold, cold seawater.

We wonder at the age of great sea turtles and wonder at their agility in the water and we also wonder at the strong urge that brings the female turtles ashore, dragging their large bodies up the sand, how they can dig a hole with no hands or feet, just to lay their eggs on land. 

We wonder and we think and we gaze. Occasionally someone is given an insight to a mystery. If luck goes their way, they are given help to use this to help mankind. Then we wonder how they did it.

Spend a little time each week in awe and wonderment of our great Earth and the mysteries it holds. It will make us all happier people.
