Primal Image of Wonder

If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children I should ask that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life. ~Rachel Carson, A Sense of Wonder, p. 54

Thomas Berry’s “meadow experience” was his indestructible gift of wonder as a boy that has guided his life journey. ~jpc

Primal images of wonder are crucial to our journeys. Namaste.

How true and how wonderful. If I had to choose three gifts to give to the world I would choose curiosity, a sense of wonder, and thankfulness.
