Wonder can be found in everything that we do, if we look for it. It can be found in the most mundane chore, in the thoughtless task, and in the routine minutes of the day. Wonder is what can turn an ordinary walk into an extraordinary exploration. Wonder can turn a boring job into an exciting adventure. We lose the wonder amidst the routine machine of life. I think E. Merrill Root is exactly right. He said…
“We need a renaissance of wonder. We need to renew, in our hearts and in our souls, the deathless dream, the eternal poetry, the perennial sense that life is a miracle.” – E. Merrill Root
I think wonder comes easier in unfamiliar territory before the routine machine takes over. I’m looking forward to a renaissance of wonder this coming week as Naomi and I head to a part of the Country where we have never been to. I’m looking forward to renewing the wonder as we discover the beauty of Sedona, AZ and the Grand Canyon.I’m also looking forward to renewing the wonder of our marriage as we spend some quality time together.
Do you need a renaissance of wonder?
Well spoken. I think I’m due for a renaissance of wonder. Thanks for the reminder!
