Maintaining a sense of wonder
Allowing it room
And time to BE
Can get tricky
Still…
It’s worth the effort
I am grateful this morning. BEcause I CAN BE. BEcause I
CHOOSE to BE.
It was a quiet and nice day yesterday. I stayed open for
surprise and magic and the wonder that is Christmas. I wasn’t disappointed. [A
bit undone and dismayed but still glad of my initiative to pick up the 20-ton
telephone first thing when Gracie and I returned from Morning Adventure.]
It is curious how conditioned a person can BEcome and yet
how astonished. I am reminded of a phrase that goes something like, “When
someone shows you who they are, BElieve them the first time.”
If I had attempted to predict how things would shake out, if
I had lost my sense of wonder and curled up into myself, knowing better than to
put myself out there, I don’t know that I would find myself feeling so grateful
looking back.
So this is a good thing. BEing a bit undone. Dismayed.
My great deLIGHT was a Beautimously painted pot and plant
from the 3 kids in front. I think they are encouraging my thumbs to grow
greener. It could happen!!!
And enJOYing them enJOYing their skateboards and scooter?!
Just utterly and completely deLIGHTfull!!!
I love you, Currie
