Keep wondering
Authors : Maria Popova
The price, evolution has us pay for our
exquisite consciousness is an awareness of our mortality!
an awareness unbearable without the capacity for wonder
at the miracle of existing at all!
Improbable as we each are against the staggering odds of
never having been born!
alive on an improbable world
unlike any other known!
Wonder is the religion Nature invented
long before we told our first myths
of prophets and messiahs
the great benefaction of our fate as
borrowed star-dust
on a short-term loan from an Entropic Universe!
