Things taken for granted

Something that I read recently...

A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following received the most votes: (1) great pyramids of Egypt, (2) Taj Mahal, (3) Grand Canyon, (4) Panama Canal, (5) Empire State Building, (6) St. Peter’s Basilica, (7) Great Wall of China.

While counting up the votes the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn’t turned in his paper yet so she asked the child if he was having trouble with his list. The reply came “Yes, a little. I can’t quite make up my mind because there are so many.” The teacher said, “Well tell us what you have and maybe we can help.” He hesitated, then read “I think the Seven Wonders of the World are to touch, taste, see, and hear.” He hesitated a little, then added, “And to feel, laugh and love.”

The room was silent. Those things we overlook as ordinary are truly wondrous – a gentle reminder that the most precious things in life cannot be bought, but they can be experienced.
