Strange & Wonderful

To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy -- and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful.  -Robert Anson Heinlein
I often experience the tension between an imposing modern pragmatism which makes me want to focus on the the task(s) at hand and evaluated life in terms of productivity and accomplishment and the gentle invitation to pause and appreciate the strange and wonderful world God has shared with us with no goal in mind other than gratitude.
