Can’t say it is now.How does he maintain his “sense of wonder?!”With the demands of the day and the passage of years, often I can’t seem to access it. Although walking in the sun and the wind comes close.I miss the wonder. 1 Reply Malag9 months agoMalagAnything that dissolves me, takes me out of my body. For example a long hike to a peak and then gazing upon the beauty of the mountains, valleys, ridges bathed in sky. 3 Reply Ose9 months agoOseLove. To love and being loved.

They have just arrived from Infinite presence and they are surrendered by the “Clouds of Glory” which confirms that knowingness. 4 Reply reality9 months agorealityWhat doesn't?

To elucidate further, a twig of related poetree 🙂 Giving Thanx While feeling sacred on this All Hallow’s Day, I also feel pangs of the hungry, so wrought by The profane, for the food wasted by us could feed All the world’s…. Yet, betwixt, In the mundane it’s only hurled. Allowing our thoughts on our forbearers, And a drink returned to the earth for them, as they, The dearly departed, are us as well, we discern, The depth of one’s sorrow is the well’s fathom Of meanings and moments shared with them. Thus, manners in which doings, not doings are done Or aren’t, brings life, light to them, or it doesn’t. For grace, just a word, cannot be sought, it seeks you. As words, while paths of study, can’t lead to oneself, For the intellect can’t lead, as life does not follow. Dougie Mclean: ‘ready for the storm’: Lyrics: “Oh, the waves crash in and the tide pulls out It’s an angry sea but there is no doubt That the lighthouse will keep shining out To warn the lonely sailor. The lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold Through the sailor’s bones, through the sailor’s soul ‘Till there’s nothing left that he can hold, Except the roaring ocean. And I am ready for the storm, yes oh ready, I’m I’m ready for the storm, I’m ready for the storm. And don’t give me mercy for my dreams, ’cause every confrontation Seems to tell me what it really means to be this lonely sailor. And when you take me by your side, you love me warm, you love me And I should’ve realized, I had no reasons to be frightened. And I am ready for the storm, yes oh ready, I’m I’am ready for the storm, I’m ready for the storm. Ah oh distance it is no real friend, and time will take it’s time And you will find that in the end it brings you near the lonely sailor. And when the sky begins to clear, and the sun it melts away my fear I’ll cry a silent, weary tear for those that need to love me. But I am ready for the storm, yes oh ready I’m I’am ready for the storm, yes already I’m I’am ready for the storm, I’m ready for the storm.” Kathy Mattea with Dougie MacLean ~ ‘Ready For The Storm’: Thanx for all you do 🙂 reality Read More1 Reply Elizabeth M Jones9 months agoElizabeth M JonesNature. the majestic mountains around Queens-town, the Milford sound, the green of the Wairarapa, the African bush, the great Kalahari desert, the Botswana flood plain, the ocean, the breaking of the sea when a Southern right whale clefs the air. God is great … all the time all the time! 4 Reply pkr9 months agopkrMother Nature, redwood trees, flowers, the change of seasons, leaves changing color, falling leaves, my cat, meditation, poetry… Happy Thanksgiving to All… I am grateful for gratefulness.org, thank you to all who make this sanctuary possible. 🙏❤️ 5 Reply Anna9 months agoAnnaLast summer I traveled through art, sea and special landscapes. They open me up to a sense of wonder. I am not able to describe them with the right words. I will try to attach one or two photos in the Lounge.

You’ve prompted me to watch again. Thanks. 0 Reply Carla9 months agoCarlaFreshly fallen snow brings out a sense of wonder as I watch how wind draped snow delicately falls over fences; wraps itself around barren tree limbs; outlines stop signs & much more. My city in Minnesota just got 7.8 inches. I’m in awe & there’s lots to wonder. I’m grateful 11 Reply reality9 months agorealityI hear you, you guys have walls of wonder, snowflakes ad infinitum.. I love it. A twig of poetree elucidates 🙂 strength of numbers A snow swamp descending, The fluffiest of flakes blanketing, May deter sight, while just one Under a microscope reveals a rainbow In kaleidoscope, a unique and one of a kind Prismatic light dance, sparkling, sinew, Alighting you, me, ‘…we(e),…’, Thee. Thanx for all you do 🙂 reality 2 Reply Debra9 months agoDebraCarla: Beautiful imagery. Almost feels like I am there with you in MN. Makes me long for our cabin on Lake Vermilion! Blessings, Debra 3 Reply Verena9 months agoVerenaI love snow too, this silence, the white powder that knows no borders…. 5 Reply My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
