Curious to Wonder

What riches come from being curious.  Such wonder in examining life brings many benefits.  Being mindful allows me to embrace how mindless I am. I realized appreciatively to  proceed by being kind to myself.  Life experience brings both the meaning of “present.” Being here now and the  gift I find from this hereness. Thoreau exemplified this by stating; Direct your eye inward, and you will find A thousand regions in your mind.
