How does one wonder?
What is wonderful?
And what is wonderful?
I love wondering, I think mostly because it never ends. When wondering, you are wandering a path in your head with no intended destination. In fact, the path is so wide, so long, and so high off the ground that you can never explore the entire thing. It's not even a place we should be able to get to! The beauty of the wonder-filled journey is that it cannot have a finishing point and very often also lacks a starting point. How do you really begin to wonder? The entire point of wondering is thinking about something that is too great to grasp - too great to even begin to consider how much we cannot know about it!
Unfortunately, the wondering of this world has become focused on things and experiences to the point that 'wonderful' no longer has any significant meaning. We attempt to measure wonder with reason and then label objects according to their wonderfulness. Instead, we should recognize these things as good, as blessings for which we can be thankful. But our wondering should be reserved for those things that are truly wonderful.
Wonder. And let your mind wander.
