Celebrating wonder

• Rich in the simple worship of the day. John Keats
• Wonder is the basis of worship. Thomas Carlyle
• The highest human purpose is always to reinvent and celebrate the sacred. N. Scott Momaday
• People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.

• Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. Robert Fulghum
• If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. Rachel Carson

Wonder in the every day

• The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common. Ralph Waldo Emerson
