The most strange things happen continually in nature, and hardly attract our attention.
They do not seem strange to us, although we do not understand them; merely because we are accustomed to see them every day.
Who would be so “foolish” as to believe that a tree could grow out of a seed
– as there is evidently no tree in the seed
– if his experience had not told him that trees grow out of seeds in spite of all arguments to the contrary ?
Who would believe that a flower would grow out of a plant, if he had not seen it, for observation and reason show that there is no flower in the stalk ?
Nevertheless, flowers grow, and cannot be disputed away.
Wonder at the strange things we take for granted.
Without wonder this world is indeed a sorry place.
Strange things are all around us.
Notice your world.
