the meaning of wonder

I recently attended a workshop about creativity and was tasked to go outside and wonder. I jotted down: "is awe = wonder - curiosity?" and from that philosophical math, I wondered -

Can we boil life like saltwater
Evaporating the vapor and discarding the sodium chloride
life's science we're all stuck living
Chained to gravity; pulling and tugging us closer to 
Dirt, leeching carbon and oxygen
 as we wander
the mind captures our life thru rods and cones
Transforming it into Intellect, Logic, and Reason
and simplifying dynamicism to mere math
    wonder - curiousity = awe
    longing - hope = despair
    love - trust = loss
Algebraic law dictates order muse be followed; plussing and minusing,
and "doing things to both sides"
but adding trust to loss doesn't equal love
longing and despiar don't know the language of hope
and sometimes awe steals our life; our breath lost for a moment
Wonder can't be itemized alongside symbols
to divide or multiply or follow the laws of nature.
Someone once told me: From math comes physics, comes chemistry, comes biology
But my math teacher did not ensure anything for me but right angles
My nature comes from nature
Life, boiled down, souls transcend the laws man has named
Governed by the laws of wonder.
