It is amazing to watch children’s eyes.  They look with such abandon at everything around them.  The world holds such wonder.  The littlest ones are so fascinated by their hands and their feet and the first time they recognize themselves in the mirror.  I can’t remember the last time that I saw myself or anyone with that kind of awe.  Actually, that is not entirely true.  I have more moments of that in my life these days then I remember having as a child.  Since walking this path of consciousness with God one day at a time, the whole world has opened up and I feel like I have new eyes.  That sense of wonder that I don’t even personally remember having as a child has been restored but I can quickly discount it because it doesn’t seem real. You see my head will try to convince me that I am not connected to that sense of child-like awe in little moments throughout my day because it is not rational.  Yet my heart and my spirit jump for joy when I find myself, like I did last week, looking up at the full moon and taking a deep breath and wanting to be absorbed by the bright light that was emanating all around it.  Sometimes we have these experiences and we chalk them up to nonsense or being childish. Maybe if we instead shared it with excitement like children do, we would find ourselves more and more conscious of it every day and see more of it.  What we focus on expands and the world is never short of things to be in awe of, God makes sure of that.  My prayer for us today is that we have the courage to acknowledge to ourselves and maybe others the things that we find wonderous.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
