As We Go Through, We Never Stop Learning And Growing

 As I read this statement, two words seemed to appear before me: Wonder and Curiosity.

 The first impetus to "learning and growing" is wonder.  When you look at a beautiful bird , you delight  at its color, shape, size and song.  It brings you to a place where you must seek, out of curiosity, more about this creature.  Wonder brings you to curiosity.

A beautiful bird, the Red Knot, visits the Delaware shore on its migratory journey each year.  It comes to fuel up on the horseshoe crab's eggs deposited in the sand.  This unusual bird migrates from northern Canada to southern South America.  What a trip!  I've never seen the Red Knot in the natural setting.  But with wonder and curiosity I hope I can actually see one someday.

Wonder and curiosity are essential elements to our continued need to grow and learn...."as we go through."

"I am learning all the time.  The tombstone will be my diploma."
