What's Taken for Granted

Albert Einstein never lost a childlike sense of wonder.  He enjoyed intuition and amused himself with the awe of magnetic fields, gravity, inertia, light beams and speed.  All the phenomena we take for granted, he delved into.  


Einstein also had the ability to hold two thoughts in his mind at the same time, feel puzzled when they conflicted, and marvel when he clicked with an underlying unity.


"People like you and me never grow old," he wrote a friend later in life. "We never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born.”


Creative Write:  Write about discovering something you've taken for granted. Use all your senses to observe happenings, sounds, and scents.  Notice gravity's tug and how light travels to make shadows. Dip into a child's intuition today.
