Wonderful

How two beautiful, intelligent, hilarious, curious, loving people who exist as individuals on this earth came out of my body when all it does most days is pee.

The miracle of the first cup of coffee of the day.

Starting to write a short story blind – with no idea how it will turn out – and having it turn into a story.

My intuition.

My kids’ imaginations.

I am flummoxed by today’s reverb10 prompt, written by Jeffrey Davis: How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year?

I could list more things that fill me with wonder, (the word “flummox,”) but I have been doing the five-a-day Grace In Small Things for 327 entries now, so it would be stealing from there. On the other hand, having recorded 1,500 + Small Things that are Graceful is probably something that contributes to my cultivation of wonder.

But I’ve thought about it all day and I don’t think I do cultivate wonder, in the sense that means look after, or help grow, or keep alive. I don’t do anything but keep my eyes and ears open and collect.
