There is this beautiful wide-eyed look on a child’s face when their imagination comes online.  We can see their mind wandering and creating just observing it in progress lights up anyone around them.  Their fascination with little things most adults do not take a second look at because it is common place is full of wonder for them. To begin to see our lives through some fresh eyes requires a little wondering.  Most adults wonder in the form of worry.  At its core, the essence of wondering is the ignition of the spirit of discovery.  It is about exploring possibilities and making connections. Wondering asks us to pause on trying to figure it out and just be with whatever it is we are contemplating.  It engages the breath of spirit and the strength of the heart. It is no small task to wonder because it asks us to let go of what we think we already know and start anew.  God encourages us to bring wondering to the areas of our lives that have lost their fervor.  We can begin by engaging with the breath.  Then put aside or even blow away our current understanding of what we are facing.  Wondering invites us to be in the moment we are in and see it with new eyes.
