 |

I was searching around easily amazed blog and I found a couple of postings about 'it'!

it's so incredible to see the different sides to life that each person brings to the table. i wonder if folks are reading it, and then i'll receive an email or talk to someone and be surprised that they peek in to see what is going on here. and even more thrilled to read/hear what they have to say about it!
for me, easily amazed is a playground. i love it when there are others on the playground. i also have fun tooling around on my own. sometimes i swing and watch, sometimes i swing and get lost in the swinging. those things you talk into on one side of the playground and hear through on another side, they only work when you are with another person. walking across a balance beam is a me-and-me-only activity. oh...how about swinging on a tire swing with others. guranteed fun...or guaranteed nausea!
just thought i'd share! |

| Quote: | i could use some help. as you may have noticed, easily amazed as we know it here has been out surfing the web, looking for parents. in this search, www.easilyamazed.com was born. but what that website will be has yet to be determined. this is where i would love your help. in this moment, i'm simply playing with the words easily and amazed. chris corrigan first introduced me to the weblog world by saying:
"easily amazed", which should describe her readers as much as herself...
that's you (and me) that he's talking about. so since you're here, why not help me out! i'd love to hear some personal definitions of the term "easily amazed." remember there's no right answer... just different perspectives. i'll start.
easily - without effort; spontaneously.
amazed - sparked by wonder and awe
easily amazed - spontaneously seized by wonder, sparked full with awe. effortlessly liberated. |
Comments from Christy: | Quote: | | "enthusiastically willing to be thrilled" |
Chris Weaver: | Quote: | i mainly like what my mouth does when i say it - those two "z" sounds, and that nice "leah" sound in between, and the "d" at the end is like blowing a friendly little kiss.
saying "effortlessly liberated" is also rhythmically delicious. |
Dave: | Quote: | Easily: simply, without trying
Amazed: A-Mazed - suddenly caught in a maze of delight. Lost, and loving being lost.
I wonder if the word does derive from 'maze', of which we have some here in England the more lost you get, the more fun it is..... |
Rick: | Quote: | | A sense of wonder... one who is easily amazed is close to God. Never lose your sense of wonder. It is beautiful! |
I sure do appreciate the archives! |

from Amy:
| Quote: | | To me the idea of 'easily amazed' speaks to a pleasure in the sheer fact of life, the deep appreciation of everyday things, simple, easy, joyous, child-like and 'innocent', yet wise. |

Someone who is easily amazed is close to the sacred sense of awe and wonder, aware of the mystery at the center...
