The person who knows wonder is the person whose soul is deepening and whose spirit is expanding. Wonder enlarges us and draws us out of our self-preoccupation.

It attunes us to the sacramental majesty of the world. It softens the ego and creates space within us for awe, surprise, and reverence in the face of the mystery of what is. It is, therefore, the natural source of prayer. But prayer that is born out of wonder is not as full of words as prayer that starts with our needs or desires. In fact, it is often wordless. It is this emptiness that allows it to hold mysteries so profound that the only response to them is silence.

~David Benner

holding space for the witness….

inquiry for today~ what is your outpouring to the world?

ideal attitudes…..

We are participants in a vast communion of being, and if we open ourselves to its guidance,

we can learn anew how to live in this great and gracious community of truth.
