A sense of wonder
There’s a new sense in town. You already know the first five: vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. And the sixth sense, which is extrasensory, hard to explain, and poorly understood by people like myself, who have never experienced it consciously.
Then there’s the 7th sense: a sense of wonder. It’s a newbie on the list, but everybody has one, or at least was born with it. Wow, a tit. Thank you Jesus!
A friend of mine discovered it, this seventh sense, and wonderful she is. Something of a wonderer of wonders.
The sense of wonder must be exercised frequently if it is to remain as robust as the others. Say wow, or a tasteful equivalent, at least ten times a day.
Wow,

“Just say WOW” ~ a new slogan to replace the other one, I like it!
I just tried to teach this new slogan to Kat’s cat, Chloe, who in turn looked at me (with the “Oh, humans!” look, as if to tell me I had it backwards ~ or rather, part of it upside down). She then looked me squarely in the eye and said:
“MOW.”
At that, she recurled herself, closed her eyes and went promptly back to sleep.
Cats know it all from the get-go, don’t they?
Not sure what cats know, since they seem so secretive to me, but I bet they dream MOW.
One main requirement for genius is enthusiasm, and wonder is a grand generator of enthusiasm. Let’s all be geniuses!
Thanks for the wow mow mama!
