He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed. Albert Einstein

I wonder.

Do you wonder?

Do you ever just let your mind wander in wonder?

Letting your mind wander in wonder might not seem like the best use of your time, and I agree if you do for hours or days at time, but a few minutes a day can be refreshing and rewarding.

Right now, in this moment, there are so many things around you that would leave you awestruck if you just paid a little bit of attention.

If you just allowed yourself to wonder.

If you allowed yourself to marvel at the magnificence of your immediate surroundings and beyond.

The sheer beauty, not only in the aesthetic sense, but also the utilitarian sense of all that is around you is easy to take for granted. For example, you might be reading this on an electronic device that is capturing the information from right out of the air around you.

Now if that doesn’t inspire a feeling of wonder-ful, then I would venture to say that you’re not looking hard enough. And you’ve become numb to all the miracles around, because you take them for granted.

Step away for a moment or two throughout your day and allow yourself to wonder, to marvel. To look below your feet and imagine the millions of life forms sharing the planet with you, and then look up at the sky and think about infinite number of planets and stars that you’re a part of.

If you take the time to break the monotony of your days with speed bumps of awe and wonder, then soon enough you’ll begin to realize the magnificence of your existence.
