Their bodies glow!
There are spiders that hide under a trap door that they build themselves.
There are carnivorous plants that eats insects by catching them and dissolving them alive.
A cheetah can run faster than you're allowed to drive in the city.
Some animals can change their skin texture and colours to perfectly camoflauge themselves in their surroundings.
Dolphins have empathy.
Ants make bridges of themselves to cross obstacles.
The ancestors of dinosaurs are alive today.
Hummingbirds!
Tardigrades!
The natural world is filled with so much wonder and awe.
I don't understand the need to believe in the supernatural when nature can fill me so.
From quantum entanglement to unimaginable distances in space, everything is connected.
Humans!

If you go outside on Sunday morning with a magnifying glass and a pair of binoculars, you'll learn more about wonder and awe and the overall connectivity of all things than you will singing hymns and reading from your book.

Go outside and get connected to nature.
Smell the fresh cut grass, feel the sun on your face, the wind on your skin. Delve the forest deeply and sense the unseen life surrounding you.
There is a whole world living between the bark and the tree.

Everything is part of you as you are part of everything.
And it's all connected.

Only education will help them.
And wonder.
A little extra...
If you want to do something fun, go through that list of wonderful things above and wonder what emotions they feel as they're doing what they do.
