Wonder, in The ABC's of Consciousness, is described as the pause right before a question forms, when something is too interesting to rush past.

A kid doesn't need outer space to feel wonder. A bug on a windowsill will do it, or a puddle that's somehow reflecting the whole sky. But give them an astronaut holding something glowing and impossible, and you'll watch wonder do exactly what it's built to do: stop a person cold, mid-thought, in the best way.

What does Wonder mean in The ABC's of Consciousness?

It's presented as a stopping point, not excitement exactly, but the moment a person gets caught by something worth looking at longer.

Wonder isn't the same as excitement, exactly. It's closer to a pause, the moment right before a question forms, when something is too interesting to rush past.

The illustration for this letter goes big with it: an astronaut cradling a glowing crystal, painterly and saturated, blues and oranges and teals catching prismatic light off the crystal's edges. Space-fantasy, unapologetically, the kind of image that makes a kid stop scrolling their eyes across a page and actually look.
