Just Wonderin’ I Wonder at the headlong speed With which a thought leaps from the mind, To wing its flight so far afield, That comprehension lags behind. The knowledge gained, the goals attained, The records which we proudly scan, All these a thought may leave behind . for man. It is sometimes difficult to realize that the very swiftest thing in the known universe is a thought which has its inception in that little ivory tower which sits atop the human structure and is indeed a universe in itself. A thought may spring full fledged or half baked from one man’s brain and instantly it reaches its goal. It does not even deal in split seconds of time. It is instantaneous and time and space seem to offer no barriers to its flight. Sound, light, a flash of lightning, the flight of a comet across the midnight sky, all of these represent slow transit when compared with the speed of one thought, starting from the little ivory tower, and reaching its goal perchance in the outer realms of space without an instant’s delay. Perhaps considering these facts, we should be sure that our thoughts are worthy ones before we give them wings. In every human accomplishment thought leads the way, and in this atomic age one may almost hear these creatures of the mind as:they fly now here, now there, speeding the momentous decisions which must be made. The. atomic age is here and to some it may appear as the ultima thule of man’s endeavors, but that cannot be for the thoughts of man are adventurous and explorative and in this still unbridled universe there are always more worlds to conquer, more ad. have a dear friend who feels that for her the riddle of the universe has been solved; she rests her mind upon one time and place in world history and eays, “I do not care to go beyond that.” I wonder if her thoughts do not sometimes escape the bonds she seeks to keep about them. Don’t they sometimes go There are no barriers that can successfully bar human thoughts; no time and place where thew are content to rest. Man is an inquisitive animal and he will not rest until the tree of knowledge is divested of its last apple of knowledge and more and more of nature's forces have been harnessed and made subThere came a time in the history of man when he wished to know more of the world in which he found himself, so he turned to the book of nature and began turning its thrilling pages. Geology, chemistry, sciences of many types, exploration and the excavation of long buried cities gave him much information and then it was that he began to ask about his own origin and here again were the pages of nature to Who would make so bold as to say that the last page has been turned, the last lesson learned? Indeed at this very moment the great eye on Mount Palomar is waiting to peer into hitherto unknown realms of space and unfold new wonder to a waiting world. We shall welcome all new knowledge and that we may profit by it is a reaction greatly to be desired. Adeline Merriam Conner.
