How To Find Wonder in Everyday Life
What if wonder isn't something we've lost, but something that's always knocking at our door and we've simply stopped answering? In this episode, I share my personal definition of wonder and explore why the very busyness of modern life might be obscuring what's already reaching toward us.
I dig into:
- Why wonder is an encounter with frontiers, not a feeling to chase
- The "elsewhere IV drip" of constant digital distraction that pulls us from presence
- How the outrage-attention media complex fragments our ability to focus on what matters
- The wisdom of "tending to the part of the garden you can touch"
- The difference between mystery (to live in) and riddles (to solve)
- How wonder uses the raw material of our everyday busyness—if we know how to look
For anyone feeling like they're living in a chronic state of distraction, perpetually elsewhere while life passes by, this episode offers a way back to presence. Not through adding more to your schedule, but through recognizing that wonder is already woven into the fabric of your daily experience.
