    The Wonder of Wondering

    Destiny is a mysterious thing, sometimes enfolding a miracle in a leaky basket of catastrophe.

    —FRANCISCO GOLDMAN¹

    You’ve entered the cinema and are very excited about seeing a great movie that has been touted by the media for months and months. You are happy that none of your friends nor the media have revealed the ending. In fact, at dinner last night, you stopped someone from blurting it out as you put your hands over your ears and started singing loudly. It got a great laugh, and your friend got the point … he didn’t reveal the ending. You wanted to experience the story for yourself. You didn’t want the movie spoiled. Think about that.
