What do you find mysterious?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 16, 2008:
Well, anything I don't know the whole story about. The sky, the history of Planet Earth, the spiritual world, anything that is physically attractive to me.
As of now, I'm plagued by the fact that I find mystery to be the foundation of many of my crushes. When I don't know someone but I find them to be very appealing, I catch myself making them into the person I want them to be.
I have to remind myself that that is all it is.
Once I get what I want and finally see behind the curtain, it takes some time-but it never fails that what is behind there wasn't as great as it always seemed before I knew what was there. It is called "the grass is always greener on the other side" syndrome.

But the mystery of digging through the trees, shrubs, barb-wired fences, sticker bushes and mud to see the grass on the other side sure is fun!
Mystery is sometimes sexier than reality. This is why we wrap presents, is it not?
