03 Of Mystery and Wonder

The Complementary Nature is a grand and mysterious coordination indeed—of life and death, energy and matter, conscious and unconscious, senses and movement, thoughts and emotions, reaction and anticipation, spontaneity and will. The mystery of it all sparks curiosity. It makes you wonder. Think of the dawning of your self, your first spark of awareness as a newborn, the first words you spoke and steps you took as a toddler. Wonder how you’re able to stand and walk, think and talk, learn and remember, retain and relate, reflect and engage on so much information, so many facts, images and precious moments. How many times in your life have you wondered about those mysteries, like your body and mind, stars and planets, earth and sky, plants and animals, people and civilization—how all of it fits together? Your squiggle sense can help kindle and enhance your sense of mystery and wonder about life and nature.
