Thursday Morning Riddle
I’m that moment of hope curiosity brings;
I’m the whitest of breads; or the projects of kings;
Little Stevie of music; what Natalie sings;
And Small, Woman, or Years among televised things.
Who am I?
UPDATE: Riddle solved by Andrew. See comments for answer.

WONDER!!! Believe it or not, I got it from the “Small Wonder” reference. I am freaky good.

I have to say, I LOVE the first line – what a beautiful definition of wonder!

WONDER is correct. Way to go, Andrew!
I was concerned that “Little Stevie” would be too much of a giveaway, so I’m glad you got it another way.
Thanks, Annalisa, for your comment. One of the fun things about this weekly ritual for me is the opportunity to spend some time thinking about the various meanings of a particular word, and how they relate to one another. I found playing around with “wonder” to be a particularly poigniant experience this morning.

Easy riddle – but I second Annalisa’s statement about your first line wordsmithing. That’s a beautiful thing.

Thanks for the comment.
What’s easy for some might be tricky for others, as I learned last week.
