Sometimes a person’s life and work is based around the curiosities of their childhood. Those moments of intrigue and wonder, however small in scope they may be, can shape an entire life.
There are at least hints that there is meaning and purpose to our lives, and these come in flashes that indicate there is a reason, a purpose to our existence. I've called these "everyday" because they happen to ordinary people all the time, but "wonders" because they clearly seem too extraordinary to be just coincidences, though they may fall short of being characterized as "miracles."
