MTM,
I do treat each day as a gift, each night before sleeping too. I don't always do it with child like wonder though.Children have simple innocent minds. I don't have a simple innocent mind. The wonder I see is complex and related to every past moment. I don't dwell on the past, its just part of my soul. I try to make all past a stepping stone though, and not a ball and chain.I contemplate the future as I know I should. Fail to plan and you plan to fail.What me worry? Even Jesus stated that to worry is a waste; He had a better handle on life than any one else I've read so far.
There is always something to gain from our actions.To wonder as a child is OK. A human brain is unfinished until nearly two decades.As I ponder the thoughts I had as a child, I realize that I couldn't think like I do now because of this incompleteness.
Today we see the signs of youth that lack mentoring by responsible adults.No concern about the consequence of their actions.Yet worrying is an overwhelming partner to this border-less self consumed lifestyle.Worrying, like shame is a feeling.
Ambition is not wrong. We cannot control the way life unfolds. However we certainly can massage the outcome to mankind's favor.
As Bucky Fuller suggests, we are simply disrupting the entropic inevitability of our universe by adding some kind of order.If wonder inspires agape ,whether as a child or not,then it truly is the perspective to seek.
Peace eh?
Frank
