I have only recently rediscovered my sense of wonder and awe
at some of the everyday occurrences that I used to take for granted. Take a minute and think. There really are a lot.
Most of these things are very simple to understand. Almost anyone who has taken an elementary
physics, chemistry, or biology class know exactly how it works. But I find the fact that it does so
fascinating.
Just this morning I took a flight to Orlando. Two thoughts flooded
into my mind. Even though I know how
airflow and updraft allows for air travel, the fact that a metal object
thousands of pounds can fly through the air is mind blowing. Or take the fact that even though the weather
was crappy, as soon as we rose above the cloud cover, the ominous looking
clouds turned into what resembled a beautiful frozen tundra.
Thanks to modern science, we can explain almost anything
anymore. But, no one will think less of
you for being impressed.
So go on, wonder away…
