The Wonder Of It All

I’m taking part in Reverb10 this December.  Reverb10 is an annual event and online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next.

The Prompt:  December 4 – Wonder. How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year? (Author: Jeffrey Davis)

I don’t make a special effort to cultivate a sense of wonder in my life, but two sure ways for me to become aware of the wonder that always surrounds us is to be around both children and nature.  I love the way children so easily see wonder…it’s their natural state if we don’t squash it. 

And I’m always astounded at the wonder in nature.  I’m in awe of both it’s simplicity and it’s complexity and of it’s utter perfection, even in seeming chaos.

Which leads me to the wonder of Spirit in my life.  I find this wonder hard to put into words and the only one that even comes close is “love”.  Where there is love there is spirit, where there is spirit there is love, where there is spirit/love there is wonder.

And that about sums it up!

Wonder is an acknowledgment of the power of the mind to transform"

Wishing you blessings of Wonder (with a capital W!)

Beautifully stated, Kate. And I so agree about the wonder inspired by nature. Such a lovely image, too. Thank you for your very sweet comment – you really brought a smile to my face! :) xo – g

Yes, children and nature.

I actively engage in enchantment and magical thinking too. I have an inner Pollyanna that lights up big every time I let her out.

I'm enjoying the prompts ~ they lead to productive thinking, don't they?
