Sense of wonder

My brother's professional email signature quote (he's a doctoral candidate in entomology at Rutgers): 

"It is a wholesome and necessary thing
for us to turn again to the earth and in
the contemplation of her beauties to know
the sense of wonder and humility."
-Rachel Carson

 I remember teaching that boy the parts of a leads on a sister date to the park twenty years ago, and am proud to share a sense of wonder with him.
