I am so blessed in so very many ways! 2 Reply Ose1 year agoOseWhen things do change completely unexpected.

When I wake up from a nightmare and realize it was just a dream, a dream which may have told me something about my fears, or about being mindful with given situations, or the consequences of refusal of His loving intention. A moment of pure wonder when anxiety, sadness or resentment transmutes through His grace, or when in daily emotional trouble, through applying the possibility of changing mind´s perspective, emotions may transform into the heart´s joy, peace and happiness. Wonder-filled gratefulness and humble joy. May you all who visit and share here, and all who feel sad, angry or helpless be touched by the wonder of His transformative love.

She was telling me how grateful she is that her Dad finally passed, as his final months were quite difficult. She assured me that he's enjoying time with all his deceased relatives in Heaven.

She was telling me how grateful she is that her Dad finally passed, as his final months were quite difficult. She assured me that he’s enjoying time with all his deceased relatives in Heaven. That got me to wondering… Is the Christian concept of Heaven even remotely accurate or is it just something to pacify us so that we won’t fear death any more than we already do? Could it be that reincarnation is a reality? Or is it simply “lights out” when we die. End of the story. Nothing more. The death of a loved one fills me with wonder… about what happens when we leave this world. Amazingly, in my ignorance, I am very much at peace with the prospect.

Stories about the Law in the news is wonder filled! 4 Reply Sarah1 year agoSarahThe magnitude of God’s grace. 4 Reply Mica1 year agoMicaAn old photo of a mailbox standing on end, with branches sticking out of it. Where was it taken? What are those branches? I wondered. The following photos showed me it was at my brother’s home. Walking onto my balcony this morning holding a guinea pig fills me with energy and happiness and fresh air into my lungs. 4 Reply Nancy1 year agoNancyThe sky – especially at dawn and sunset but often throughout the day as well – it is new art changing constantly! 4 Reply Sunny1 year agoSunnyMy morning walk. The nature and people that pass by and our connection with one another. 5 Reply Emily1 year agoEmilyThose moments when I am working on my growth and see confirmation from the universe that I am indeed on the right path by seeing a cardinal or certain numbers. 6 Reply Samuel1 year agoSamuelThose moments spent in our Smoky Mountains National Park. What hath God wrought?! I believe that anyone who truly contemplates the beauty and the complexity and the interdependence of Nature's diverse creatures and plants will realize the power and wisdom of the Creator God. The Park inspires the soul but also soothes the troubled mind. It was also my late wife's favorite place as well and thus has the most special experiences and memories of our 53 year marriage.

Wishing you a most blessed weekend. ❤️ 2 Reply Carla1 year agoCarlaMorning and dark of night piques my eye of wonder more than mid day. Noticing the dew on morning’s yard grass & plants; each bird’s unique song & call; scamper of rabbits & squirrels… At night I’m drawn to the vastness of a clear night sky, limited as my view is in the city; listening for the last bird’s song or inhaling spring’s scent from a lilac tree. The Creature’s handiwork is awesome! 4 Reply Rita1 year agoRitaThe silence of early morning. The beauty of sunset, the brightness of the full moon. The wonder of nature 6 Reply Michele1 year agoMicheleMy electricity just went out so at this moment I wonder when it will be turned on because it supposed to be 94°. 4 Reply Serafina1 year agoSerafinaMay your electricity return quickly and may you be cool and comfortable. 3 Reply Michele1 year agoMicheleThanks, it did! It definitely made me grateful for our electricity and the electricians who work hard to fix things when it goes out. 0 Reply Kevin1 year agoKevinHow interesting! Just a week ago I co-lead a discussion group among Quaker children on the very topic of wonder and where and how we experience it in our lives, physically and spiritually. The retreat leader painted an old chair in bright, striking colors which children used as a metaphor or symbol, moving and setting the chair in various locations, to advance the topic. I will post a photo of the chair sitting in a field in the Lounge for folks here to see. The photographer in me had some fu...How interesting!

The photographer in me had some fun moving the chair here and there in the early morning light to photograph, and, to ponder further the topic of wonder.
