To Wonder, To Wander

“You have the power to live in the now despite that inner nudge pushing you out of the moment toward perfection and productivity.” – Rachel Macy Stafford, Hands Free Life

“…which causes me to wonder, my own purpose on so many days as humble as the spider’s, what is beautiful that I make? What is elegant? What feeds the world?”― Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum

What causes you to wonder?
Go there each day for a visit.
As close as a walk, the sky, a glance.
Creating rather than production.
Imperfect effort over perfect stasis.
Wander, pause, allow.
Be filled with awe.
Completely awake and thrown out of the nest of complacency and busyness.
Feed yourself, feed the world.
Wonder, awe, delight to you this day.
Found in the wandering and the wondering.

“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man’s-land.”― Dani Shapiro, Inheritance
