Answer:

Invariably, I find that when I ponder the intracies of the world around me, I am astounded that it continues without falling apart around us.

Step-by-step explanation:

Invaribly and all the time are conveying the same point, so remove "and all the time."

Think about and ponder about are synonyms, so remove think about.

Saying both "the world" and "the wordly activities" is redundent, so remove one.

Amazed and astounded are synonyms, so remove one.

"Continues on its path" is unnecesary and can just be continues and "falling apart around our ears" makes more sense as "falling apart around us".

This leaves you with:

Invariably, I find that when I ponder the intracies of the world around me, I am astounded that it continues without falling apart around us.
