Wonder Lies in Depth, Not in Strangeness
Human beings cannot live on routine alone, nor can the heart remain truly alive when every day becomes a mere copy of the one before. A touch of wonder keeps the soul awake and prevents life from turning into nothing more than a repeated habit.
Yet wonder is not always found in grand events or dramatic surprises. It may reveal itself in a sunrise whose beauty we had never fully noticed before, in a kind word spoken at just the right moment, in an unexpected encounter, or in a new meaning discovered within something familiar for many years.
More beautiful still is that, as people grow older, they no longer seek wonder in the strangeness of things, but in their depth. They marvel at the mercy of Almighty Allah, at the changing nature of circumstances, and at time’s ability to transform people, hearts, and destinies.
Perhaps the problem is not the lack of wonder, but rather our becoming so accustomed to blessings that we lose the ability to see them.
Therefore, what we need each day may not be a dose of wonder as much as an eye that is still capable of reflection and a heart that has not lost its beautiful curiosity about life.
