O.K. She's back and heading into the realm of wonder. Wonder has been stomped out of existence in this culture. Everything is explained, analyzed, dissected, categorized, and shelved. We need to bring the art of wonder back into the lives of all of us, not just our kids who already have it anyway (well, most.) Kids naturally begin life by being in awe of a bug in a puddle or of an ant carrying a huge piece of picnic food. They jump up and down with excitement, yelling, "Look! Look!" and ask us big people to stop our maniacal drive toward exterior goals. Just stop, breathe, and look. Learn from the children in your life. Be awake, aware, alive.
