As civilization advances, the sense of wonder declines. Such decline is an alarming symptom of our state of mind. Mankind will not perish for want of information; but only for want of appreciation. The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living. What we lack is not a will to believe but a will to wonder.
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

This is soooo good…
You always have sayings that make me look at the world anew!! Thank you!!!
Thank you. It made me notice and appreciate things around me a bt more – and not just relate to the day with the thinking part of my head – so I thought I would share it. Karl
