Wednesday Bonus Post from exploring the mystery


A Wednesday/Thursday quote for readers of exploring the mystery:

Pause to Wonder*
Albert Einstein

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead, his eyes are closed.

    Thanks, Nicky, a wonderful quote.

    However, I would not say he is "as good as dead". He can still open his eyes. It is never too late to open one's eyes (or one's heart). That is part of the beauty - it is eternal.

    Thank you Mary for your comment. Glad you enjoyed the quote and offered your own take on it. Indeed, I agree, it is never too late to open our eyes (or our hearts). My dream, on 4/21, featured me driving with my eyes closed; I stand wide eyed with the knowledge that I do want to keep my eyes open.

    Have a great rest of the week!
    Nicky
