Prompt # 4 (December 4th) - Wonder
How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year?
This one is thankfully easy. The main way I cultivated my sense of wonder was reading non-fiction this year. I mean the in depth material, not the newspaper (as it tends to make one angry/sad/mad/relieved--not that one shouldn't read the paper, just not when they are tired). If you have any doubt that the world isn't as amazing as the Discovery song claims, just dig into any subject on this great world of ours and be amazed at the combination of simplistic complexity that is Life on Earth. Every day I'm just impressed with just how much is out there. I should point out that I do read a lot of fiction, but I don't read it for wonder...well sometimes I do
I should point out that I also listen to a lot of non fiction (just to name a few): www.ted.com, www.bigthink.com, www.tvo.org, ABC or BBC radio documentaries, Ideas on CBC, entitled opinions. There is a lot out there to amaze. Three Cheers to Science!!!
