Wondering in wonder

From wonder into wonder existence opens.
Lao Tzu

To be always in a state of wonder is a kind of sensitivity that can sometimes be an extraordinary blessing and sometimes a real pain.

Wonder is the heaviest element on the periodic table. Even a tiny fleck of it stops time.
Diane Ackerman


I'm no longer a child and I still want to be, to live with the pirates. Because I want to live forever in wonder. The difference between me as a child and me as an adult is this and only this: when I was a child, I longed to travel into, to live in wonder. Now, I know, as much as I can know anything, that to travel into wonder is to be wonder. So it matters little whether I travel by plane, by rowboat, or by book. Or, by dream. I do not see, for there is no I to see. That is what the pirates know. There is only seeing and, in order to go to see, one must be a pirate.
Kathy Acker

The wonder of plentiful seeds for the chipmunk and just the existence of such a little being for me, that's a perfect morning.

For the Record,
This day came in cooler and dry again. I mowed and weeded all day yesterday. Today there is only seeing.
