What happened to the "wonder" of life...

"Wonder" an interesting word when you think about it. There are so many venues that can be explored through the power of "wonder"...

"Wonder (emotion), an emotion comparable to surprise that people feel when perceiving something rare or unexpected".

Now wonder is not the same as "question", they come from two different centres and probably different parts of those centres themselves. Wonder is a sensation given to us, that can lead to more incredible emotions if one is capable of mastering, understanding and using this higher sensation. It is more predominant when we are younger, more innocent and childlike, as compared to the cynical, preoccupied adults we become...

A child will approach everything from a sense of wonder, there is no opinion, attitude or mindset yet developed. Therefore they see more than an adult would normally see, with greater clarity and intensity, until we impose the "nonsense" word upon them.

Imagine for a moment the possibility of a doorway to another dimension, where a parallel universe exists, somewhat out of our reach from a physical point of view, but within our reach from a mind point of view.

Imagine looking through a window or doorway into this new found world, where the colors range from midnight blue skies to ranging shades of luminous white foliage, where the people themselves are coloured differently, perhaps in subtle shades of green, blue and purple.
