the mind reaches answers
because it can think
but it raises up questions
because it can wonder

Ah, there’s the rub, eh. think wonder think wonder around and around. But it is this frustrating situation that may be a large factor in adults losing their sense of wonder, to ask questions, thus the loss of imagination. Does remind of a quote (I’ve been kind of immersed in them of late) by Primo Levi: “Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.”

Levi’s statement certainly resonates today as we watch our politicians fumbling our future
