THE
SEVEN
WONDERS
OF THE
WORLD
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present
"Seven Wonders of the World." Though there were some disagreements,
the following received the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5.Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student
had not finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl if
she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied,
"Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind
because there were so many."
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and
maybe we can help
"The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the
Seven Wonders of the World' are:
1. To See
2. To Hear
3. To Touch
4. To Taste
5. To Feel
6. To Laugh
7. And to Love."
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that
we take for granted are truly wondrous!
A gentle reminder --
that the most precious things in life
cannot be built by hand or bought by man.

The human soul is not left unprotected. It is not reached through a revolving door.....it is guarded by gates. Thank you for naming them! Sight, sound,taste, touch, and smell, are the inputs ....the gates open and whisk them in allowing our soul to become intimate with the pohysical world.....and all of its wonder!
Love the pictorals! Warmth Marc :)
I see what you mean Dona, everybody seems to like this one, with good reason too! :-)
