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.
