Wonder
by Lindsey Kiser
Consider the ordinary bird’s nest. Is it not fascinating that a bird knows how to build a nest? We usually consider the use of found objects as materials and tools as within the exclusive realm of man, and yet our common, but no less extraordinary, backyard songbirds know this. But, is it not even more fascinating that a bird knows it needs to build a nest? The bird knows its purpose. Interestingly, the purpose requires the bird to work until the task is accomplished no matter the quantity or severity of obstacles that are presented. During the development of this series, I intentionally thought thoughts that elicit the emotion of wonder. Children are forever asking “why?” and saying “I wonder”. When was the last time you considered a bird’s nest or a butterfly? Is the state of wonder exclusive to the domain of children? Can we return to it? Is there a reason to return to it?
