A time for wonder

When was the last time you stopped and truly lookedaround you at all there is to wonder in the world? As children the world wasall about wonder. We wondered at the rainbows in the sky and the muffled soundsof footsteps in the snow. We wondered at the playfulness of our pets and their boundlessenergy. We wondered how it was that we could learn to balance ourselves on atwo-wheeler bicycle. We wondered how the days could be filled with more daylightin summer and less so in winter. We wondered how it was that we did not fly offthe earth since we were spinning at so many miles per hour. At some point weseemed to stop wondering and spent more time on the mundane aspects of lifelike going to work or school or thinking about how we were going to pay ourbills. Think about how you felt as you observed a rainbow or thought aboutbalancing yourself on your bicycle. Did you have a sense of awe and excitement?What would it take to open yourself up to that sense of wonder today?
