I think that it's important not to think of wonder as something out of this world, or "supramundane", but to see the wonderful in the ordinary. It's a kind of choice to reset oneself in the present rather than being off into an uncompleted future. Now the trick to this, I think, is not about trying to glean some kind of wonderful experience embedded within something, but to have an attitude of "you are in the right place to be a part of something". It's here that the sense of wonder can ripen because it comes from faith and confidence that the moment is suited to one's abilities, skills and flourishing. I don't need to wait for another moment for this to happen. It's quite simply enjoying and reveling in what might seem obvious to some at first but is a discovery for someone with new eyes.
