This week have a great discussion for you in which we explore the adult sense of wonder

We kick things off with a quote from Rachel Carson's book The Sense of Wonder.

"A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful. Full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring is dimmed, and even lost before we reach adulthood. If I had influence with the good fairy, I would ask her that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life."

We look at how awe is a mixture of terror and amazement, think carefully about how we present the natural world and how we embrace the fact that it's a place of beauty but also of harsh reality.

It's important that we really hold on to our own awe and wonder and how we can support and nourish those experiences of children around us to maintain their sense of wonderment through to adulthood.
