SENSE OF WONDER

+++
Just receive a book - THE SENSE OF WONDER by Rachel Carson.
A book I'm waiting for ...
inspiring writings and photographs.
Some beautiful words from the book:
+++

" Arouse the emotions ... for the foundation of learning is in what we love."


"A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood. If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children I should ask that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against the boredom and disenchantments of later years, the sterile preoccupation with things that are artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength."
+++

"... it is not half so important to know as to feel... Once the emotions have been aroused - a sense of the beautiful, the excitement of the new and the unknown, a feeling of sympathy, pity, admiration or love - then we wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response. Once found, it has lasting meaning..."
+++
"...exploring that world that is old and ever new."
