Writing is a form of
therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint
can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is
inherent in a human situation. [Graham Greene]
I am grateful that I write. The act of writing, NOT the
product, is key. I am saved time and again by this simple act of stringing words
together.
Most of us forget to take time for wonder, praise and
gratitude until it is almost too late. Gratitude is a many-colored quality,
reaching in all directions. It goes out for small things and for large; it is a
God-ward going. [Faith
Baldwin, Many Windows, Seasons of
the Heart]
I think BEing an adult can imply that Wonder
is seen as a childish quality. That’s just wrong. Wonder is what makes me get
up in the morning and what calls me to sleep again in the evening.
It makes me wonder, Do we spend most of our days
trying to remember or forget things? Do we spend most of our time running
towards or away from our lives? I don't know.
[Markus Zusak, Fighting Ruben Wolfe]
Hmmmmmmm…
Once we believe in
ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any
experience that reveals the human spirit.
[e. e. cummings]
I love you, Currie

I totally agree with you! Wonder, joy, discovery, amazement, honesty, curiosity, lack of guile...all those "childish" qualities are something adults should cling to. I always prayed I'd never lose that childish part of myself--ever. Haven't so far. ;)
