Wonder & Awe
The Wonder That Lives Within Us
This world overflows with beauty that can stop us in our tracks. Think of the infinite expanse of space, the intricate patterns of nature and the mysterious workings of our own consciousness. But here's something remarkable: wonder isn't something we find "out there." It's something we create from within.
Two people can witness the same sunset, and while one is moved to tears by its magnificence, the other barely notices. The difference isn't in the sunset, it's in the observer.
Cultivating Eyes That See Magic
Wonder is a way of seeing, a relationship we develop with reality itself. Some people can look at their own hands or watch an ant carrying a crumb and be overwhelmed by the sheer brilliance of existence. This isn't a special gift reserved for a few, it's a capacity we all possess.
As we reconnect with our hearts and deepen our relationship with ourselves, we strengthen our ability to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. We cultivate the power to find magic in moments others might dismiss as mundane. This brings a surreal quality to life that's hard to describe but impossible to mistake when you experience it.
Your Inner Child Knows the Secret
Children are natural wonder-seekers. They see magic everywhere because they haven't yet learned to look past it. That same childlike curiosity and exuberance lives within each of us, though years of conditioning may have buried it deep.
Our inner child often hesitates to emerge because it's been wounded by a world that values logic over wonder, productivity over play. But when we meet this part of ourselves with love and acceptance, when we help it heal from whatever trauma it may have experienced, something beautiful happens: we begin to see the world through fresh eyes again.
A Simple Practice
The next time something fills you with wonder- whether it's a starry sky, a piece of music, or the way light filters through leaves - take a pause. Really take that feeling in. Notice how it moves through your body. Notice what it does to your spirit.
Let that experience teach you about living from wonder more often. Because this is a beautiful experience we're having, and it's always good to look around and be reminded of that.
When we embrace our capacity for awe, we don't just see the world differently—we increase our gratitude, our joy, and our connection to the magnificent reality we're part of.
