"What matters is the wonder" wrote the great French poet Charles Peguy, and this phrase has always struck me because it seems that hides a deeper meaning, a meaning we often fail to grasp.
I want to start on this: what we wonder?
not easy to answer, because it is already difficult to tell what this is, we can immediately say surprise, surprise or emotional stress. If it were only that then it is obvious that they know and even the dream.
Who does not want to live a great joy or those who do not want to be in front of something that takes your breath away, something that captivates the senses? I'd be a fool if I said that this is not attractive, it does not appear beautiful, but the surprise is traveling at "high frequencies", it strikes and then disappears, is consumed quickly and more often than not that the memory remains. One son
wonder of our time, a society of "passenger" that offers so much and this should pass quickly.
From music to fashion, entertainment reports, everything falls into this model.
Wonder then becomes "feeling" the strongest possible, the only possible, most repeated possible "temporary" and not just "under construction".
This is not to say that all this means, but in most cases, "everything now" has become a rule of life.
is then that " under construction" is a necessary step to understand more deeply the wonder.
I think it is amazing to see such a large project, a dream, a job or be able to touch the fruit of your imagination. Wonder is able to stated that he succeed where so many did not believe that you were able to go forward even in the face of many difficulties, which has not lost the courage to quit when he was the obvious solution.
The wonder is therefore tinged with so much concrete, no longer "passenger" but becomes "final" because it affects who we are.
I never thought of it that, in fact I have often found in the first situation, but today more and more I think the biggest source of amazement is the daily flow of life that puts you in front of these and so many situations that do not that you wonder: after all you who the living, are you that the "build"!
The wonder then has a deeper root that touches the same relationship with God so that even the religious experience would remain a pure emotion "fleeting."
Who can not be said to marvel at a God who became man and died for the salvation of everyone who does not remain speechless in front of the splendor of the empty tomb?
Here is a matrix of wonder Christian race of Peter and John, and the sight of the empty tomb, a sign that Christ's words were words of life.
Peguy had sensed the same awe that must be beginning, the same awe happened to the first two who met him, because the Christian life looks beautiful and fascinating.
do not know if I could answer the first question and perhaps I have also removed, but I think our lives are interwoven in many of these situations: the wonder it can take many meanings "passenger" to "final" through our relationship with God But one thing is certain: it presents every day.
you soon, Marco
