Want of Wonder

G.K. Chesterton is always good for a quotation.

And there’s one from him that really sums up for me how I feel about language in general.

And it goes, the world will never starve for want of wonders, but only for want of wonder.

And I think about the gift that language is, this miracle that’s been handed down from generation to generation.

I mean, there’s so much to wonder about when it comes to language.

It’s just, I think that really sums it up.

You keep wonder as a kind of way to set a course.

The world is far more interesting.

Absolutely.

Rather than taking things for granted or dismissing as irrelevant.

Yeah.

Suleika Jawad says, live each day as if it’s your first.

And I think that’s another wonderful way to talk about wonder.

I’m doing it.

Oh, don’t go too far with that metaphor.
