oh, wonder…
i met with two of my extra lovely advisors, matt monk & nancy skolos, today & it was suggested that perhaps what my thesis truly is about is wonder: to create wonder, display wonder, give wonder & cause wonder.
it seems so simple…& though i talk about “wonder” when describing my thesis goals, i never thought to distill my ideas to simply that — wonder.
