“Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.”
~ Stephen Hawking
“The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.”
~ Ralph W. Sockman
“Wisdom begins in wonder.”
~ Socrates
“It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know the sense of wonder and humility.”
~ Rachel Carson
When you wonder about something, are you thinking about it out of interest, worry, suspicion, amusement, fear, curiosity, or a million other reasons? Life gives us reason to wonder and reason to ponder the wonders of all that exist! Wonder is sensory, cognitive, and spiritual at any age! Wonder is about exploring possibilities, about comforting doubts, about understanding each experience, and embracing each surprise!
Wonder gives perspective to our place in the world. Wonder gives permission to find the magic in everything. Wonder helps to appreciate extraordinary, different, and unique and to escape the weariness.
Appreciate the power of wonder every day, whether big or small, and embrace the comforts of curiosity and knowledge.
