A Working Definition of Paradise

Saturday, March 28, 2026

Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.

At it again, these wordy ways with dawn.

Thanks for joining me. O/

Things to wonder about to bring magic into your life. There's hundreds of posts here to help you do that.

Wonder, enthusiasm, awe... we replaced them as a race with hubris, reliability, and probability centuries ago. So much so now even the most beautifully lived life feels quite mundane.

Too many of us think a robot could live our life better than us... which is an indication our systems are flawed.

There's more to life than adding it up; there's the joy of adding it up.

It comes to value. How do you define your worth?

After basic needs are cared for, money is only as valuable as the experiences it affords.

So what's up with experience? How are your moments? That's how to rate the quality of your life.

Do your moments serve your best dream of yourself?

More morning philosophy with your friendly neighborhood poet.

I'd rather write about the sunrise.

Consistent, reliable, punctual: Beauty. It's the aim of this journal to mirror each dawn.

Alarm clocks go off around the Nation. A world where everyone is glad to wake up in the morning... sounds like a working definition of Paradise to me.

Maybe you're not a writer, but you have some work you love to do. Start each day with what you love. Even if only for a short time. It matters more than you know that you do. Because the quality of our moments far out passes the quantity of our days in level of importance.

How we live our lives matters far more than how long we live.

Take care, give care, and make today wonderful.
