Responding with wonderment and

aweAssembly

Love what you do

Wonderment and Awe

Why is it that some people are able to find so much passion, so much

wonderment and so much awe in what they do, while others don't?

What makes one persons response to the same situation so different to an

others?

Why can two people, having the same experience, have very different

responses?

Imagine

Wonderment and Awe

Two essential components.

• Firstly • we need an understanding about what we are

experiencing.

• Secondly • we need points of comparison. We must be able to

compare what we are experiencing with our understanding of "normal" and recognise it as exceptional.

David Attenborough

Why can’t everyone see such amazement?

Why is it amazing?

Wonderment

Ask questions

Go looking for it

Take time to ask why• WHAT is this life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare?—No time to stand beneath the boughs,And stare as long as sheep and cows:

• No time to see, when woods we pass,Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:

• No time to see, in broad daylight,Streams full of stars, like skies at night:

• No time to turn at Beauty's glance,And watch her feet, how they can dance:

• No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began?

• A poor life this if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.
