The universe is always singing,
And we must learn to listen,
So that our heart may join the universal chorus.
And we must learn to listen,
So that our heart may join the universal chorus.
~ Sarah Martha Baker - 19th c.
To wonder is to stand in awe of the ultimate mystery of life and to understand that mystery exists not merely in the ecstatic but in the ordinary daily life. Eliot Deutsch observed that wonder, unlike curiosity, does not try to figure out, or to explain. We do not wonder "at," "about," or "why" —we wonder with.
