From the Book of Lum, field note 137: A child of Marqala once showed me a simple gear, discarded in dust. 'Look how it catches light!' she said. Not its function, but its shine.
The Luminaries teach this wisdom: wonder precedes all great works. Children see first what we've forgotten to notice—the miracle in mechanism, the sacred in the simple.
In their eyes, we remember our own beginnings.
