Curiosity

 

I walked into my second story living room this morning and there, right in the middle of my screen was a huge locust.

It was just sitting there. Not moving. Not even one leg flittering around and it carried me away.

Whatever could have brought it to such a place and caused it to stay so long without moving?

It's a great veiw, but that creature's eyes were not seeing what I see with my two eyes. First of all it has five eyes and none of them are quite like mine.

Then I began to wonder other more interesting things. Like why my window and not the others on the front of our building. Then, maybe God is not the all omnipotent father figure the men who wrote the Bible believed. Perhaps God is a variant on a three year old loose in the universe!

This morning it was playing with bugs and decided to put one on my window to see what both it and I would do.

It blew gently to see if it moved. It focused the sun on it to warm it up and then, swoosh, it flew away.

Distracted, it moved on to play with the other stuff in the sandbox, using its creativity to sort the molecules into multi-verses. 

A cosmic child unfettered by the restraints of mortal children.
