A Little List of Wonders Taken for Granted

(This is an abridged complimentary version of the Non-Exhaustive List of Wonders Taken for Granted)

This is a set of small poems about the things we take for granted.

It’s to remind you not of facts, but to help you rekindle wonder, presence, and emotional connection.

About the full Non-Exhaustive List of Wonders Taken for Granted (Available on Stan Store for $16.99):

The mornings blur. You find it hard to feel connected anymore - to your body and to your community.

You feel a little numb—even though you still notice the trees, the light, the scent of changing seasons.

Your heart isn’t catching it.

This is not a self-help manual.

Inside are 36 wonders taken for granted delivered in short, soul-stirring poems about how your body is made of starstuff; how the air is made; how your name is a gift—and a handful of gentle practices—not to instruct from the top down, but invitations to share in awe.

Each page is a poetic meditation  to read one a day or many times over to help you remember that you’re surrounded by wonders, and you’re allowed to feel them.

⸻

Delivered as a beautifully designed PDF, ready to download and revisit whenever you forget how miraculous it all is.

⸻

This guide is for you if:

• You feel dull, adrift and uninspired, even though you’re still deeply creative

• You love the natural world but feel spiritually disconnected

• You want to feel awe again—without needing a retreat or big breakthrough

• You crave reasons to care again

⸻

You’ll be left with:

• A reawakened sense of gratitude—without forcing it

• Subtle emotional shifts that make mornings easier to face

• A deeper connection to nature, your body, and the unseen systems sustaining you

• A calming, poetic antidote to overwhelm and numbness

• A simple habit (like muttering thank you) that changes your emotional tone

• A soft landing place when life feels too fast or too empty

⸻

This guide isn’t about teaching. It’s about transmitting a sense of wonder.

These pages help you reconnect to wonder.

Rekindle your mornings. Rethink what’s miraculous.

Your life is full of meaning. Let these pages help you see it.
