Volume 31 - 15 October, 2013 Dear Parents and Students One of the 16 Habits of Mind we seek to encourage in ourselves and our students is the ability to respond with wonderment and awe.
“Wonder is God’s way of getting our attention. Wonder is not the beginning of doubt. Wonder is the beginning of understanding the things that are really important in life.
Learning something leaves us different than we were before we knew it. Learning is our lifeline to the fullness of ourselves. ‘We wake, if ever at all,’ Annie Dillard writes, ‘to mystery’.
To learn more about life is to learn more about God.
If the great Mystery of Life is God, then the more we learn about its little mysteries, the more we know about the God-life itself.” Joan Chittister “The Art of Life”
“Those who can no longer pause to wonder And stand rapt in awe are as good as dead; Their eyes are closed” Albert Einstein
