The Sense of Wonder

"If this (the starry sky) were a sight that could be seen only once in a century...this little headland would be thronged with spectators. But it can be seen many scores of nights in any year, and so the lights burned in the cottages and the inhabitants probably gave not a thought to the beauty overhead; and because they could see it almost any night, perhaps they will never see it."

Quote by Rachel Carson in her book "The Sense of Wonder" - which was originally published as an essay in 1956 in The Woman's Home Companion.

The Sense of Wonder is a must-read for any parent.
