Food For Thought

"In each little life, we can see great truth and beauty, and in each little life we glimpse the way of all things in the Universe. If we allow ourselves to be enchanted by the beauty of the ordinary, we begin to see that all things are extraordinary. If we allow ourselves to be humbled by what we do not and cannot know, in our humility we are exalted. If we allow ourselves to recognize the mystery and the wonder of existence, our fogged minds clear. Thinking clearly, we follow wonder to awe, and in a state of awe, we are as close to true wisdom as we will ever be." -Dean Koontz

"... allow ourselves to recognize the mystery and wonder... and in a state of awe, we are as close to true wisdom as we will ever be."

Love this! Did you just happen to see this somewhere or did you chalk it up?

Thanks for sharing, :)

Hi Dan, glad you like the quote! I write a Food For Thought message in our office kitchen pretty much weekly...this particular quote is from a book I happened to crack open last night: A Big Little Life by Dean Koontz. I'm loving it after only 3 chapters!

That's a great idea! I might steal it for our break room whiteboard!

As far as the book goes, I just looked at it on Amazon, thanks for pointing it out. I'm headed on a trip soon and look forward to reading it! :)
