Silent Wonder

Silent
wonder beckons us to be aware, to step into God’s world, to see as God sees,
and to take nothing for granted. Such wonder can be poisoned by cynicism and
the need to analyze or trivialize or dissect, or by a silence of negativity and
withdrawal. And our response may become- “It’s just too ordinary after all. I've seen that before”-
whether it be the subtlety of light falling upon a monastery wall, the drama of
a sunset or the kindness of a friend. Silent wonder is the way of faith and deference to God's way of acting in our midst.
