balloon-lost - The Monday Morning Memo

At the 26-second mark in this video
is Ben Linus’ hot-air balloon. Wizzo bought it from ABC TV a couple of years ago and had it shipped from Hawaii to Wizard Academy. He didn’t uncrate it until this week. He told Jeff and Joe and Jacob to put it in Warehouse 13.

“Later that evening when we sat at the train station waiting to board our train I opened the notebook and wrote a question at the top of the first page: Where do you find wonder? That was the central question for a magician, certainly, but I also thought it was an important question for anyone. Wonder is something that everyone cares about but no one discusses, and I probably wasn’t the only one in my generation to lie awake in bed one night, unable to sleep, trying to figure out when everything had gone so numb and how to get back. Where do you find wonder? Is a good question, but it carries an unstated assumption. The real question is, Where do you find wonder after you have lost it? That’s what I wanted to learn on this trip – why you lose it, and how you get it back.”
