Small WondersPostcard from BusseltonA trip to Western Australia brought Laurel to the famous Busselton Jetty - a 1.8 km timber-piled jetty stretching out into the Indian Ocean - the longest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. Initially built for practicality, the jetty is now a tourist destination and even features on postcards.The way it reaches out with such purpose is similar to prayer - an extension towards the eternal.But the main difference, of course, is the fact that we didn’t build the jetty between us and God. He did. But we still get to...2025-05-0614 min
Small WondersImaginationIn Romans 12, the Apostle Paul has a challenge for Christians:“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- His good, pleasing, and perfect will.”But where can we actually start with this renewal?2025-04-2914 min
Small WondersYork LaneAlong York Lane in the Sydney CBD are alcoves and recessed doorways set into the buildings.It was in one of these recessed doorways where a man named Karl used to live (or rather, sleep).Hundreds of people passed Karl every day - and sadly, in 2013, Karl died in his sleep, exposed on York Lane.However, in a remarkable postscript, his long-lost brother, who had been searching for Karl for decades, finally found him.And he brought him home."My son," the father said, "you are always with me...2025-04-2216 min
Small WondersSacred Bin ChickenThe gap between what an Ibis is made for and what it does in the city becomes very apparent once you see it in its natural habitat. The Ibis is made to roam marshlands and use their elegant bills to dig for crayfish and mussels - not for scraps of rubbish in bins. But like these birds, we also often lose sight of the type of world we are made for and how we are meant to be. We can’t find the answer to who we are meant to be by looking within ourselves, but...2025-04-1515 min

Small WondersKissinger's HatSo much of our world is built on hierarchical relationships.If one is of more excellent status, importance, or class than another, that can dictate so much of their interactions.A meeting with the late Henry Kissinger two decades ago brought this reality into focus for our host - and reminded her how this is anathema to the Creator of all things.The One true God laid down his life for all, for the slave and the free.2025-03-2511 min

Small WondersThe Library: Part 2More often than not, libraries collect and organise works of human creativity, intellect and industry.They are repositories of finished works.Books and recordings, films and magazines and many more - all discrete units of human creation.Archives, in contrast, provide us with the backdrop to the works, the settings, the background, and the working out of ideas from which a job may have come.2025-03-1115 min

Small WondersThe Library: Part 1Welcome to a new season of Small Wonders!This is the first of a two-part series on the power of words.People read for different reasons.For some people, reading is work; for others, it's a hobby.Sometimes, reading can cause something within us to shift; we might go from wanting to read to needing to read.

Small WondersSummerbellThe Summerbell Window - a beautiful stained glass window - sits in the Holy Trinity Church in Millers Point, Sydney.It's not like the other windows: it shows a stormy sea, with Jesus calming the tempest.It commemorates the loss of the Yarra Yarra - a steamer captained by William Geoge Summerbell, the namesake of the window - which disappeared on the morning of the 15th of July 1877, after encountering a terrible storm off the coast of Newcastle.Witness to the tragedy was Williams's father, Thomas.It was the following year...2023-12-1916 min
Small WondersFree LunchWe will always work for food. The question is - which food are we working for?"Daily bread" has become a well-worn idiom; we all need it to get by, and without it, life wouldn't be possible.However, such a simple phrase fails to capture the complexity of actually finding daily bread.From the wheat harvesters to produce the bread, to the toil of workers to earn money to buy enough of it, much of what we do is in search of ways to provide daily bread.Throughout history, the price...2023-12-1214 min
Small WondersFar TransferTransfer of Learning: To take something from one context and apply it in another.For many teachers, this is the goal of their job; to impart specific knowledge to students that they can use in the wider world.However, the transfer of learning isn't about just getting things right - it's about being able to get things wrong too.Researchers have found getting it wrong can yield a greater transfer of learning.To focus on only being right is to limit ourselves - shut ourselves off from amazing possibilities....2023-12-0512 min
Small WondersGhostsDo you believe in ghosts? You should. The chances are, you are one.According to a Yougov poll conducted in 2021, roughly 40% of people polled believe in the traditional sort of ghost - a spirit that shows up and haunts a person or place. And almost 20% of those polled believe that they’ve had an encounter with such a ghost.But Laurell Moffatt has her eyes trained on a different kind of ghost - a more current type, which is almost the complete opposite of the traditional phantom. Ghosts these days don’t show...2023-11-2816 min
Small WondersThe Whale and the KayakA small video caught the eye of Instagramers recently - one involving a whale and a kyak.A drone, hovering over the water at Bondi Beach, captured a person on a kyak paddling away, oblivious to the presence of a whale coasting along directly behind them.Laurel Moffatt reflects on the unique place the humpback whale occupies in Australian waters, and the way it treats the various oceans of the earth as rooms in a sprawling house. She also considers the place this particular humpback occupied in the life of that solitary kayaker...2023-11-2118 min
Small WondersOrigamiTake an ordinary piece of paper. Fold it. Fold it again. Then one more time. Then sit back and observe the beautiful creation you have made.Laurell Moffatt reflects on a life-long love of the Japanese paper art of origami.In it she finds connections to her childhood fascinations and the blueprints for fascinating machines, from the microscopic to the orbital.But with every fold a line of fracture is made. Damage. Stress. Fracture. Yet each exists for a purpose, for with each fold a flat piece of paper begins to take shape...2023-11-1413 min
Small WondersPractice Makes PossibleMany people learn to play an instrument when they're young.Sadly, most will give it up over time - and many will come to regret it.To become proficient at an instrument means to practise: to keep playing the same rudiments or scales over and over again.Practice is sometimes boring. It's often just an unexciting part of the day. But practice isn't what makes perfect - it's what makes possible.Repetition is key to practice. If you want to know how to do something, you have to do...2023-11-0718 min
Small WondersA Drop in the OceanMany of us see the ocean as an immense blue desert; something to be crossed to see loved ones.It covers nearly 140 million square miles of our planet and can seem to many like an unfathomable, stormy tempest. A single drop seems completely insignificant.Perhaps it's for that reason - it's vastness - that we also cast our rubbish into the ocean.But seeing it only in terms of its size, as a place of stormy chaos, or just a dumping ground, is reductive. It dismisses the ocean rather than engages with it. 2023-10-3119 min
Small WondersSpider's WebLaurel Moffatt returns with Season 3 of Small Wonders. You're invited to join her on an exploration of the unnoticed and the seemingly unimportant in search of life’s lessons, at the hands of the creator.In this episode, Laurel ponders the wonders of spiders are just that - spiders, through and through. They are what they're made to be, down to their very core. Might it be the same for us humans? That we too are reflections of something greater, and we can't be who we're meant to be without it?...2023-10-2513 min

This was never more apparent than during the lockdowns of 2020-2021.Walking is mundane but beneficial - both physically, but also for our connection to the world.No matter how momentary or trivial it may seem, bumping into someone on the street and talking to them does us a world of good.With societal loneliness at an all-time high, getting out for a walk is now more important than...2023-06-0614 min
Small WondersThe Lay of the LandWhen we look at the city what do we see?Do we see busyness, progress, and exciting opportunities? Or do we look deeper, and think about the land underneath the glass, concrete, and metal forests we've built?Cities are transient - people ebb and flow into them like the tide.They also pose the question: what is it we're building with our own lives? Are they things lasting, or sandcastles that will topple with the next wave?And as we build our cities, how close are we to the life-giving water...2023-05-3011 min

Small WondersIn the CurveDo we really know who we are? The human heart has two conditions: in and down, or out and up. In and down - seeking the self, or up and out - seeking God.Curves are everywhere - from trees to shells, clouds to hurricanes, and galaxies to black holes - curves are embedded in the universe. Even music follows the shape of a curve.Augustine talks about curves in his City of God. Martin Luther echoes his thoughts, describing the human condition as curved inward - toward the self. Inward curves are...2023-05-0214 min

Small WondersPostcard to the ListenerLaurel Moffatt returns with Small Wonders - her short, thoughtful reflections on how a trust in Jesus colours how we see things in the world around us.Ahead of a new season, she ponders how, if we don't take the time to pause, we can misunderstand why things are happening the way they are.Things aren't always as they seem - sometimes when we expect to find pain and anguish, we instead find love and care.Matthew 11:28-30 is just one of many scriptures that echos this theme.2023-04-1105 min

Small WondersBetween A Rock & A Hard PlaceLaurel Moffatt has been to the cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde four times. I first ‘saw’ them when I was 16 years old. But not with my eyes. I saw them through reading Willa Cather’s The Professor’s House. An ancient civilization, preserved in stone. The evidence of ordinary, human lives of an ancient culture and the continuity with the past, layers of history held in stone.There have been times in Laurel's life, and maybe yours as well, when life has felt particularly hard. And in those moments, when the only options are difficult ones, the phrase t...2022-05-2717 min
Small WondersThe Benefit of DoubtLaurel Moffatt begins her quest for the benefits of doubt at the bottom of the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. There she discovers a search for a lost ship that demonstrates just how necessary uncertainty is to the inquiring mind.The exploration director stated that the Endurance was ‘the most unreachable wreck ever’. And yet, presumably, he had enough doubt about his certainty to be willing to venture out on an expedition that would take him to the ends of the earth.This is a bit like a questioning, curious faith in God. There are unce...2022-05-2015 min
Small WondersGood GriefLaurel Moffatt considers the universal nature of grief. Many are grieving these days: Illness. Loss of friends, lovers, and family members. The loss of time. The rumbles of war. The question is never whether grief will ever arrive in our life, the question is what to do with it when it does.Mary Delaney, who was born in 1700 to an upper-class family, was married unwillingly to an unkind man. Her life was emotionally fraught while her husband lived and financially strained once he died. Joy did follow, but even these latter blessings were tainted by still more...2022-05-1314 min

What else do you owe a thing that can both divide a continent and bring you directly into its heart? That can both float a ship and sink it?But it is also a place to contemplate our efforts to control the world around us. Here, we realise that something is lost when we bring the wilderness to heel, putting it behind barriers or up on a wall as a testimony to our own strength.Rivers have...2022-04-1512 min
