Wonderful, My Son
My boy, my good boy.
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Plant The Seed
This life is a garden. Every word is a seed and every moment a bloom.
There exists one word that shines like the first light of dawn: "wonderful."
This word, my favorite, is more than a collection of letters; it's a beacon, guiding us to see the splendor in the simplicity, the extraordinary in the everyday.
It's a word that has painted my world in hues of awe and gratitude, a reminder that beauty abounds for those with eyes willing to see.
Then, in a twist of fate as tender as the morning's first breath, you, my son, at the bright age of five, embraced this word in your tiny hands.
"Wonderful," you said, and in that moment, the word was reborn, its meaning deepened by the purity of your wonder.
Your voice, unblemished by life's trials, found in "wonderful" a new resonance, turning it into a key that unlocks the treasure chest of the world's wonders.
Hearing "wonderful" from your lips is like watching the dawn break anew, a daily miracle that never ceases to amaze.
With every "wonderful" you utter, you sketch the world in vibrant colors, a masterpiece viewed through the lens of innocence and joy.
You, my child, are the artist of your own experience, painting your days with strokes of wonder and shades of delight.
Your "wonderful" is an invitation, a gentle hand leading me back to a world I thought I knew, now seen through the fresh eyes of youth.
It's a word that bridges our hearts, a shared language that speaks of love, wonder, and the endless possibilities that dance in the light of your gaze.
Through your eyes, I rediscover the world, each discovery a shared secret, each moment a shared joy.
In this journey together, where "wonderful" is our mantra, I am reminded of the boundless capacity for awe that beats in our hearts.
It is a gift, this word, a reminder that life, in all its complexity, is a canvas waiting for us to paint our joys, our marvels, our wonders.
And as we walk hand in hand, you remind me that to live is to marvel, to find the "wonderful" in the whisper of the wind, the dance of the leaves, the laughter that fills our home.
In your embrace of "wonderful," you teach me, my son, that the greatest wonders are not those that tower and awe but those that whisper and nudge, gently reminding us of the magic woven into the fabric of our days.
Together, we explore this world, a pair of adventurers on an endless quest for the beauty that lies in every heartbeat, every breath, every "wonderful" that blooms between us.

Whosoever bans wonderment, eschews the inexplicable and scoffs at all dazzling perplexity is a big, stinky turd.
Let us endeavor not to be turds!
Gorgeous work.
Andrew, that’s beautiful and made my heart grow several sizes - mostly because I imagined your future adult son reading these words.
Wonderful! 👌❤️
