“Abraham Joshua Heschel, a very interesting rabbi and mystic, said he didn’t pray for faith; he prayed for wonder. That is also my prayer. Wonder is the heaviest element on the periodic table; a tiny fleck of it stops time. My periodic table of the heart also has many other elements, still unidentified by science. One of them is unattainium. That’s the one that continues to drive us forward whether or not we expect to succeed.”

I like the idea of praying for wonder. It’s a good thing to desire. And need. Unattainium. That’s a good one, too. I don’t know why, but it made me laugh. 🙂
