We are cast upon God when we wonder. In wonder is wisdom born. The most elementary and at the same time the most profound of questions is, "Why is there anything at all and not nothing?" "Why am I?"

In our supposed sophistication, we may suppress the question, we may become practiced at forgetting it, but we never really get beyond it. The fact that I find myself in a boundless world of innumerable existent beings is astonishing beyond measure.
