Is it not the nature of man to wonder? The critters whom raid my gardens do so with the understanding that in almost all humans are their mortal enemy. Is / can instinct be construed as understanding? The instinct to procreate is inborn in successful species is it not? Just as it is to eat, drink, and sleep. Is the instinct to wander any different than the need to wonder? Both can serve to promote survival of the individual and the species.

The Relativity of Happiness and the Contingency of Desires
cold replied to Will's topic in Daoist Discussion
Abide meaning accept. I accept that I can't abide certain behaviors in either myself or others. When I'm totally pissed off, I'm aware and I accept it. Being human means I do things based upon how they make me feel, and having more or less an awareness of that. Happiness is followed by unhappiness. The greater the happiness the greater the unhappiness. I seek the center. I wander away and back, away and back. In a ever tightening circle, I'm never lost. -

They hibernate / overwinter in the soil alongside and or underneath bodies of water. Decades if not eons of adaptation and or acclimation. I find them on my dew covered squash leaves early in the morning at least 100 yards or so from a stream eating bugs that are eating my squash leaves.
