Responding with wonderment and
aweAssembly
Wonderment and Awe
Why is it that some people are able to find so much passion, so much
wonderment and so much awe in what they do, while others don't?
What makes one persons response to the same situation so different to an
others?
Why can two people, having the same experience, have very different
responses?
Imagine
Two essential components.
• Firstly • we need an understanding about what we are
experiencing.
• Secondly • we need points of comparison. We must be able to
compare what we are experiencing with our understanding of "normal" and recognise it as exceptional.
Why can’t everyone see such amazement?
Why is it amazing?
Wonderment
Ask questions
Go looking for it
Take time to ask why• WHAT is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?—No time to stand beneath the boughs,And stare as long as sheep and cows:
• No time to see, when woods we pass,Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
• No time to see, in broad daylight,Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
• No time to turn at Beauty's glance,And watch her feet, how they can dance:
• No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began?
• A poor life this if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.
