    About this ebook

    Thoughts Discovered is a varied collection of the poetic writings of S.Tarr, released in five volumes, on such relevant subjects as love and adventure, wisdom and worldview, and contemplating the wonder of life and the grandeur of things that transcend the now and the present. The Wonder of It All is the fourth volume in the series.

    Excerpts from the book:

    Today

    "Today is a day
    of change, old things
    turn into new.

    The true and
    the faithful stand in awe
    of a future glory.

    Let the good be
    honoured, let the brave
    be evermore."

    Pattern Recognition

    "It is the
    small things that
    become the big things,
    it is the big things, again,
    that become the
    small."

    Chasing Hearts

    "Chasing hearts,
    seeking dreams.

    The sea is deeper
    than the streams.

    This life is more
    than what it seems.

    You have the power,
    you have the means."

    Affinity Earth

    "The animals,
    the trees,
    the very earth.

    I love all these
    with great mirth.

    A natural affinity
    given to me at birth.

    This world,
    and all, I consider
    as great worth."

    The Secret of the Wood

    "In the fire,
    in the flame,
    the secret of the wood,
    of the tree,
    is revealed
    in light and
    in a blaze of
    life-changing glory."

    Sublime

    "Time is sublime,
    both in duty and in kind.

    For it is known and
    unknown, misunderstood
    and defined.

    It is wanted and
    denied, forgotten and
    remembered.

    It is captured and
    again lost, taken for granted
    and most treasured.

    Time is our guide
    and our companion.

    Conceived by the
    Greatest Champion."

    Editorial Reviews

    If you are looking for well written, eloquent, and inspiring poetry, I highly recommend Thoughts Discovered: The Wonder of It All. The poems touch on varying themes from faith (such as "In the Morning" and "Night Sky") to nature, but the common thread of inspiration and wonder is present throughout. These are real and honest poems that everyone, no matter what their situation or walk of life, will be able to relate to (and that is the mark of true poetry, is it not?). Hopefully the author will continue to write and share his work.

      The Wonder of It All (Thoughts Discovered - S. Tarr

      Preface

      Wonder is all around us. Just look out of your window, at the mountains in the distance, look into your mirror, at the stars up in the sky. Wonder is the heartbeat of Creation. Without wonder and delight in beauty, life would be at a loss, life would not be at all.

      This, the fourth volume of the Thoughts Discovered series, The Wonder of It All, is all about that, exploring the wonders of life and the joy that is found when witnessing and experiencing these wonders, heightened even further by the revelation of their mysteries.

      What is Wonder you may ask? Wonder is when we see life from another perspective, other than the one created by the familiarity of routine, from a different vantage point to the norm of everyday life, and are taken in by the magnitude and brilliance of the moment, of the realisation and revelation of the infinite caught within it each breath, by the sheer beauty of it all.

      Wonder is awakened by beauty. Beauty is what intrigues the mind and elevates the senses to respond in awe and worship. Our greatest pursuit should be the origin of wonder, our highest call to find love in both the big and the
