A Pinch of Stars, a Pinch of Sea

August: On Wonder and AweAugust 18It’s not the spoon that brings out the flavor, is it? The flavor is in the sauce itself, in each and every ingredient that comes together to make a single, solitary entity. The spoon just gives it a gentle nudge to bring it all out and push it toward something beautiful.And just so, the capacity for wonder and awe is within us all. I can’t quite say what it is, and words don’t seem adequate to describe it (as with many other things, emotions in particular), but it’s there.And lucky for us, we’re in a world full of spoons that are just waiting to stir our souls.Reflection title: A Pinch of Stars, a Pinch of SeaCreative inspiration:  Meindert DeJong, The Little Cow and the TurtleReflection question: What stirs the wonder in me? Is it the stars, the mountains, the river, the oceans, the animals, or other humans and their creations?
