Wonder

Right. We cannot fathom.
G-d's Desire. G-d's Speech.
When I'm frustrated or tired, this would be a great thing to remember. Reply

Good And I thought I was amazed at everything because I have a simple mind! I loved what Michal said about the delight with nature. Have just planted a few hundred milkweed seed for the monarchs. I get so excited when thing start blooming and those awesome seeds turn into beautiful flowers and then food for the monarch larve. Of course I am just helping it along, we all know who does the real work! May G-d bless each and every one of you! I love you. Reply

You are quoting me word for word. I claim UNenlightenment.

But I do always say, with amazement, "Look at it! It's amazing that there is anything there at all!"

"it" being, well, anything. Nature, yes, but anything at all. Even, say, an automobile. Or a piece of broken glass. The glass is basically silica. It's not alive. it's totally ordinary. Just sand, basically.

Each atom of silica is made of electrons and protons and neutrons, held together in a pattern by enormous energies.

Nobody really understands these energies. Physicists just know they exist. They can't explain them.

How can it be that the world is made of invisibly tiny particles held together by enormous energies? That is amazing! How did that happen?

And once we know how it happened, it's still amazing. The more science discovers, the more amazing it gets.

And if this just happened all by itself, it's even more amazing!

We'd have to be totally numb to avoid being amazed.

Praised be Gd! Reply

Not just nothing... I do not know, if I have an enlightened mind.
But I am delighted with nature. and it often moves me to tears to see what happenes around me. Especially now, when in spite of the cold new little plants and flowers come out of the frozen earth again.
I love so much, what you write, and I am waiting every day for the "wisdom of the Rebbe". Thank you! And Purim sameyach! Reply
