Never once in my life did I ask God for success or wisdom or power or fame. I asked for wonder, and he gave it to me.
~ Abraham Joshua Heschel
Wonder
Mankind will not perish for want of information but only for want of appreciation. The beginning of our happiness lies in understanding that life without wonder is not worth living. What we lack is not a will to believe, but a will to wonder.
~ Abraham Joshua Heschel, God in Search of Mam: A philosophy of Judaism.
Titmouse
Prayer begins at the edge of emptiness.
