NOTE

Finding Wonder in the Moment

The constant struggle to stay engaged with the present moment and maintain a sense of wonder is a common experience as we grow older. It often involves realizing the loss of wonder that we once had as children, filled with curiosity and amazement at the world around us. Reconnecting with wonder requires intentional self-reflection and acknowledging the feeling of loss, which serves as an important signal about ourselves. This process may take years, involving moments of being fully present and experiencing pure joy, like holding a child's hand. Recognizing the shift in perception, such as feeling indifferent in a cathedral that once inspired awe, indicates the journey towards rediscovering wonder and cultivating a deeper connection with the present moment.
