There is something so precious about watching the wonder of children.  I remember it as a teacher when I would substitute for elementary students.  I see it in my niece who is about 14 months old–how fascinated she can be by the simplest of items.  Children hold this sense of awe with everything the see and do because it is all new.  We seem to lose that over time because we have already experienced it.  But have we?  We have never been in this very moment, with these thoughts at this time ever before.  Sure there are elements that are familiar but if we are to be completely honest, we have never been here before.  I need to connect with God who created all things to see what is new in this creative moment.  That is when I am able to be in a place of awe. When I see things in a childlike way (one of awe, mystery, excitement, joy) not a childish way (what’s in it for me, what am I going to get out of this, I want my way) then I am connected to all of creation because I am creating in that moment.  I find it much easier to already think I have been here because then I can sort of check out on some level.  Our minds are shaped in those early years of our life because our brain needs to know which patterns to create so that it can function automatically.  This is a fascinating function of the brain and I am grateful for it–it is the part that takes care of telling the body to pump oxygenated blood cells from the right to left side of the heart, etc.  However, I am not so sure I want to continue with the unconscious thought because those are based in experiences that I had as a child–good and bad.  To be open to seeing things new I need to take a space, a breath, from my programming and be open to what is new in this moment.  Then it is like I become a child again–seeing things for the first time.  How do you feel when you are filled with awe in the moment?  My prayer for you today is that you are open to seeing a similar situation with the eyes of a child (God).  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
