A Case For Wonder by Christopher Norment  published in the Orion Magazine. 

This gorgeous article, sent by a dear friend who understands awe in nature, conveys the critical importance of the missing foundation beneath academic knowing: wonder.

Young children live in a place of openness and marveling. We as parents and teachers sometimes have the honor of  joining them there. But can we find a way to stay for life?  Can they? Can we make it our spiritual home, even as we  grow older?  Can we help children guard their precious ability to wonder before the forces in modern society steal it from them?  This brilliant essay speaks to wonder as the true basis of all learning, of intellectual curiosity, of deep knowing. And it speaks to the importance of an underlying sense of gratitude for the natural world as a precursor to true environmental awareness.
