AWE

Certainty is like clutching what you know inside your fist, like there’s no room to question what might loom beyond your wrist. It’s the comfort of right angles, the ease of solid lines. It’s the emptiness of a lonely box and the space that it defines.

There were times in school when I had fun with the exactness of the game, thinking I would know a flower once I could say its Latin name. Like names and addresses, dates of birth could readily explain why some people crave the sun while others love the rain.

Holding the mystery, step into the river and feel eternity. As the sun will rise and the rain will fall, may I begin each day with gratitude and awe.

If I could define in this vast design what was possible or real I’d never see the desert turn to water or the ocean turn to steel.  But I’ve seen those wonders many times and each time I recall the wonder, the wonder, the wonder of it all.

Holding the mystery, step into the river and feel eternity as the sun will rise and the rain will fall, may I begin each day with gratitude and awe.

If we’re not in awe we’re not paying attention If we’re not in awe we’re not paying attention…

Inside every one of us contained in each square inch of blood there are 75 billion cells 75 billion cells functioning on our behalf so that we may simply be…. I think of that as a conspiracy, a conspiracy of life. And since I’m being a bit reflective, I’d like to add to this human/life perspective: If we took every cell phone on the planet, every telephone line on the globe and registered the conversations conveyed, the trillions of messages relayed, the entire system would still not approximate the complexity or functionality of a single human brain. 

That's just another way of trying to explain the miraculous privilege we have of playing this human game. Holding the mystery Step into the river and feel eternity As the sun will rise and the rain will fall, may I begin each day in gratitude and awe.
