For want of wonder

“The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.” ~G.K. Chesterton

Small children have no problem with wonder. They find wonder in everything they see. But as adults we often lose our capacity for wonder, getting bogged down in the details and responsibilities of daily life.

The wonders of the world don’t go away. We just become oblivious to them, though they surround us at every moment.

If you’re looking for more joy in your days, reconnect to your childhood sense of wonder, and you’ll discover that there’s no lack of wonders all around you!
