"We need first of all to foster, in ourselves and in others, a contemplative outlook. Such an outlook arises from faith in the God of life, who has created each individual as a 'wonder' (cf. Psalm 139:14). It is the outlook of those who see life in its deeper meaning, who grasp its utter gratuitousness, its beauty and its invitation to freedom and responsibility."Pope John Paul II
Evangelium Vitae
Recapture the Wonder by Ravi Zacharias is the latest book I am reading. I've always been interested in wonder. My husband laughs at me sometimes because I can become fascinated with the smallest things. Nowadays cynicism and sarcasm have replaced our childhood wonderment. And even our children are getting cynical at a younger age.
What are you fascinated with? What scene makes you stand still in awe?
So far my kids have retained much of their wonder. The picture below is of them in our backyard.
