What is wonder?

Wonder is my second favorite condition to be in, after love - and I sometimes wonder whether there’s even a difference: maybe love is just wonder aimed at a beloved. Wonder is like grace, in that it’s not a condition we grasp: wonder grasps us. We do have the freedom to elude wonder’s graps. We have the freedom to do all sorts of stupid things. Be deploying cynicism, rationalism, fear, arrogance, judgementalism, we can evade wonder nonstop, all our lives.

I agree with every single word in this paragraph. I believe we fall in wonder before we fall in love. So it is the power of wonder that makes us love someone. This is the reason I am starting this blog: to fall in wonder. My hope is that you fall in wonder and be grasped by wonder.
