Joy in the universe, and keen curiosity about it all - that has been my religion.

Delight in the world and a restless wish to understand it can carry the weight most people ask their beliefs to carry. Wonder gives you something larger than yourself to attend to, and curiosity keeps that attention honest rather than settled. Held together, they function as a way of living, not just a mood that comes and goes.
