Wonder according to webster: “a cause for surprise; astonishing; a miracle”
Look with wonder at all that is before you. There are miracles waiting in the wings. I had a wise yoga teacher tell me ” Live in the Mystery.” His message fell on my ears in the middle of a challenging balance pose, when I felt sure to topple over at any moment. Mystery. Wonder. Joy.
I made it through the pose and realized these simple things can elude us if we fail to take notice of their presence in the small moments of our lives. We simply must love the questions of life as much as we love the answers. This is where the wonder unfolds. I believe, that in order to find the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth we must redirect our gaze and soften our hearts, find willingness, ask questions, send up prayer, and be as open as a child to the mystery, wonder, and joy in any given moment. I know the simplicity of the idea seems light and fluffy and whimsical but the task of seeing the wonder around you may require new eyes. It’s an act of faith in knowing that life unfolds in mystery and positive expectancy for that which is good. Life is a gift. Children understand this. As we become adults, it easy to forget the very simple things in life, like wonder and joy. But if we open your eyes and ears and hearts, everyday can become an act of preparation and expectancy for good. The more we seek to find wonder and gratitude, the more it will fill our lives.
BECOME A WONDER HUNTER:
It’s really pretty simple. Life is really pretty simple. Strip away the complexity and become more childlike in expression.No I don’t mean throw a temper tantrum. though with the drama of our days that might be the easier thing to do. Instead, take a little time each day to be grateful. Acknowledge what amazes you. Let your eyes see the powerful things God is unfolding in your life. Let your mind listen to the questions your heart is asking. In the challenge of your day, look for the good. Ask yourself, “How am I growing from this experience?.” Each day is a gift, it’s new from the moment you wake up each morning. Each day you have the opportunity to awaken and open your eyes and ears and heart. Celebrate that alone. Gather friends and support each other in looking for the wonders in life, talk about your experiences, share and create community around this. Miracles are sure to follow.
It’s far too easy to give our attention to the drama of life. What would happen if we lived a bit more in the mystery, the astonishment, the miracle and wonder of life? What would our days look like then? I welcome you to find out.
