We begin to experience life's myriad wonders as soon as we start using our senses. Why is it that as we mature we start to forget? Its almost as if a veil drops to obscure those Wonders from us all. Lets reawaken to the wonders around us and let them enhance the world we see and the work we do.
I am creating a book and a workshop... Wonderment101: a beginner's course in wonder. One of the exercises in this work is to keep a journal of the wonders we experience. It is something I plan to do here.
I welcome you to contribute your wonders as well. Things you see, or that happen to you, or that you come across. Perhaps those sparks of Awesome will find a place in Wonderment101!
And for my first Day of Wonders: As today is the First of Spring, I held a rose in my hand and wondered at its miracle. I wondered at its form, its geometry, its color, its delicateness, its thorns, its woody stem, its scent. Some force opened a seed and that seed, with time, sun, moisture, rich earth, sweet air, and an unknown design transformed into this marvel.
