The wonder is there
A wildflower blooms on the side of a busy highway. Most people passing by fail to notice it, many of those that do consider it nothing more than a mere weed.
Yet that wildflower is infused to its very core with possibility. It grows, it blooms, it reproduces, not by striving, but simply by being what it is.
It is far from alone. In every direction, similar wonders exist throughout all that has been created, all that will ever be.
You are one of those wonders, indeed one of the best there has ever been. You have much to learn, much to be inspired by, from all the rest.
Imagine the sensations of diving into a chilly mountain lake on a bright summer day. Attune yourself more fully to life’s endless diversity of wonder, and in every situation you can find a similar richness of experience.
The wonder is there all the time, and it grows. Let it fill you, nourish you, revive you, enchant and encourage you, again and again.
