Meditation 5 - Toward Wonder

This meditation is a conversation with the Alter episode just released on Mary Oliver’s work and vision and invitation to all of us to fall in love with the world, to be opened by wonder.

“What creative work plunges you so deeply, so sensually into this world? What work—maybe play is a better name?— channels you into a flow where time fades out of your attention and you feel most alive, curious, powerful, in the mode of a Creator? What work makes you celebrate the world? Infuses you with wonder, and the skill to stir it in others?

What are the cheap satisfactions you are choosing as stand-ins for the deeper, hard-earned satisfaction of creative work?”

— Nicole Meline
