A Life of Wonder

In the midst of the perils, crises and degradations of modern life - of human life, really - it can be easy to drop our eyes from the wonders of this world and to lose that sense of awe and excitement it can give us. Keeping that wonder is crucial to a life of purpose and peace, a life of love and joy. When we cannot hear the buzzing of bees’ wings or see the intricate patterns in a winter tree’s branches, we cannot create a revolution of Love, a revolution that truly makes life better.

The founder of this site was brought up by Catholic parents and received a thorough grounding in the Catholic bible. One of the stories that meant the most to him was the story where Jesus set a child in front of his disciples and told them, “Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” That passage inspired this site, because he also knew that “[t]he mind is its own place, and in itself [c]an make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven”, and that in the mind of a child, the world is a vast place full of wonder and mystery to be explored and enjoyed.

It is the child of wonder we all need to find and keep alive in ourselves if we are to experience this world as a joyful place, and if we are to make of it a heaven and not a hell. It is the children of wonder who can understand what means
