    Mick Fleetwood
  • Questions With our first breath we begin to wonder. It could be that our first wonderment was..."Where's Mama's tit?" What our last wondering thought be..an instant of our last breath..is answered within. For some of us our questions ask why we are the way we are. Our uniqueness prohibits answer to be other than our own. We may act similar in similar situations but why we do so is different. Any answer we get from outside ourselves comes from what others think. Some of our questions have answers we are not ready to understand. KnowyerLoved, CWD
