What is Wonder

Sept 15, 2020 | By Kayla Bartsch GH ‘20

What is wonder but an apology? 

Evidence of spirit flowing from soil,

a constant effulgence of that first 

Utterance which produced a radiance

that is yet to be told.

An assertion that even in the cracker 

crumbs wedged between the seams 

of your seat, there are systems of 

unimaginable complexity, giddily hidden 

behind a mask of the mundane.

In a world so full, bulging out of itself 

at every round, can we for a second seek

not how nor why nor what things are,

but rather grab onto the glory 

that things are?
