The Wonder of Art

 Noel Paul Stookey sang “Now a scientist may tell you how night turns into day, but it can never take the wonder away”
(Miracles, Real to Reel)

It never ceases to amaze me that with all the explanations of how our brains work, and the chemical reactions that happen inside us that explain why we react or think the way we do, that art can cut through the ‘scientific self’ and surprise us. We still get that “wow” factor when we see, hear, feel, experience “art”. Science can explain so much of “us” but it cannot take the wonder away.
