The garden of Eden was the place of the extraordinary, of wonder. What was lost with the curse was that sense of wonder because what is seen here is only ordinary by comparison.

I feel God’s yearning for the extra-ordinary, that His creation, His children, would know the explosive vibrant beauty, the awe-immeasurable, the unique richness of every aspect of creation.

If only we knew the extraordinary wonder of what He created. Then we would all long for it again.
