Wonder is a skill, one we’re all capable of learning. He was determined to show us how. “Wonder” is a wonderful word. It’s impossible to say it aloud without smiling. It comes from the Old English wundor, meaning “marvelous thing, miracle, object of astonishment.” On one level, to wonder is to seek information, in Siri fashion. I wonder where I can find some dark chocolate? On another level, to wonder is to suspend inquiry, at least momentarily, and simply behold. I wonder what it is about good Belgian chocolate, spiked with sea salt and almonds, that makes my brain dance and my heart sing?
