Wonder is what sets us apart from other life forms. No other species wonders about the meaning of existence or the complexity of the universe or themselves.
My disposition as of late had me first thinking to answer, "sometimes that wondering, complexity leads us to alcohol or worse..." But on second thought, wonder is the fruit hanging always just out of reach, ripe enough to fall at any moment yet always within our grasp if only we might extend ourselves to garner it in present time. And those that notice it, still have it- as I believe we seldom tend to it as we did when we were children- those folks are wondrous and always have that steeping something to share that makes this reader think, hmmmm....it's good to know this world is inhabited by still good people who take the time to share a joy, like this photo and that quote. Love your views, take care-
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.
