Wonder

How about, for the time being,

we put our spiritual practice aside

and give our weary, seeking mind a break?

How about, for a change, we start with wonder;

with gently, quietly, opening our hearts to wonder,

and letting everything be as it is, no matter what.

Can we be with it all, with the whole, messy story of ourselves,

without touching the story?

How beautiful is that…even for a moment, to wake up, to become aware, to let everything be?

To resist nothing?

There is true beauty in that, true power;

The power of love for life itself is in the art of wonder.

If you really want to help the world, that’s where it starts.

How do I know that?

I don’t.

It is wonder knowing itself.
