Christmas 2021: Into the Wonder

As children we dream of finding our own real-life adventure…and we end up finding a job. Adventure is set aside for a career and wonder is the casualty. As children we are in a hurry to grow up because we believe the possibilities of life are limitless and it is only the strictures of childhood that hold us back. But then we make the deflating discovery that with the freedom of growing up comes the responsibilities of adulthood. We also discover that with the loss of childhood comes the loss of wonder. And we miss it terribly. Perhaps more than we know.
