Wonder

It is so easy to take things for granted - indeed to take our own existence for granted. What would happen if we set our intention to appreciate the wonder of it all on a regular basis?

At the back of our brains, so to speak, there was a forgotten blaze or burst of astonishment at our own existence. The object of the artistic and spirited life was to dig for this submerged sunrise of wonder.

G. K. Chesterton in Chaucer
