Reading this wonderful article with my full presence created a sense of wonder in me. I felt connected with this beautiful writing and felt the sense of wonder in me.Though my mind was active reading the article, I felt a deep sense of stillness, connectedness and joyful aliveness in me. I didn't make it happen. I let it happen. I agree with Katie Steedly when she says, "Everyday is a miracle" if I let it happen.Wonder happens when we let it happen. We sense it when we are fully present and allow our being to be connected with it.
Everyday is a miraculous day in my life. When I wake up, my eyes are drawn towards the majestic presence of the orchard tree and the beautiful flowers swinging lightly by the gentle touch of the wind and the soft light of the rising sun.A feeling of wonderment, joyfulness and gratefulness arises in my heart.What a precious gift I get from nature! I sense such feeing of wonder in the eyes of Duke, our dog, when we get connected with each other just by looking at each other! And it happens when I eat lunch in the outdoor lunch garden with little kids. A child sitting by me looks at my white hair and wrinkles on my hand with innocent curiosity. And I look at her with a delightful twinkle in my eyes. We get deeply connected with each other without words.
Our life is mostly the "do do" life, a check list life. We do not allow ourselves to check in with ourselves and the "happening" world in front of us and around us. We spend a great deal of time in making it happen rather than letting it happen and we miss the world of happening. We need to learn how to be still and be fully present to be connected with the wonders of nature and human beings-a shift from the world of doing to the world of being.
I join my hands with Katie as she says, " May we know more, and more, and more wonder."
