How I wonder what you are.."
To wonder is to feel surprised amazement; to marvel or feel admiration in the face of something new or beautiful
Wondering is the desire to know, a feeling of intense curiosity, a speculative frame of mind, even the expression of doubt about something
Wonderment is a noun meaning a state of reverence or adoration.
When I look upon a star and wonder, it could be an amazed and admiring wonder at the magnificence of the star or it could be a curious and speculative wondering that is more scientifically inclined or it could be the awe-inspired wonderment of an acolyte experiencing a miracle.
I wonder which permutation of wonder is the most apt in this case...
As children, the sense of wonder is omnipresent in us. We experience our world in a state of surprise. We are curious about everything. We feel awed by much of what we experience. Our amazement is fascinating, thrilling, enthralling--and it opens us, hooks us, draws us to more surprises that thrill us, fascinate us, enthrall us...
Nurture your wonder, your wondering, your wonderment.
Keep it safe. Grow it. Don't let it die.
It will keep you willing and able to live and learn and change and be affected and be impressed and celebrate and be inspired.
