I wondered - today - if there's some grand master plan....if there are unconscious forces greater than we are.

I wondered about happenstance.

I wondered about serendipity.

I wondered why I am left with so many questions...without any good answers.

I wondered how it is to feel so small. I wondered how it is to feel so grand. I wondered what my mother would say about this scene as it revealed itself in the hollows of the mountain's shadows.

I wondered if she'd love the unexpected surprise of color. It was the only one question for which I had an answer.

Of course she would. There's nothing she would have loved more or better.
