Expressing Peace. Amazement. 88.

Amazement happens and is almost immediately overlooked. In fact, it’s overlooked so immediately, it may not be recognized at all.

We grow accustomed to so many amazing things we take them for granted. The increasing speed at which an increasing number of (amazing) things happen: too many, too fast for us to stop and smell the amazement.

Peace can happen fast. We’ve a much better chance of noticing it, catching it, and enjoying it if we slow down enough to be amazed.

For some amazement, I go to cause. The amazing orchestration of our solar system causes the beauties of sunrise and sunset. Earth’s rotation and revolution start and end our days and nights. Worth checking out slowly every day.

For some amazement, I go to result. Any flower’s intricacy amazes me. It is intertwined with all phases of the plants growth, regeneration, and transience. The flower itself is always its own, unique work of art. Worth taking a moment to notice.

For some amazement, I go to the instant. The child who wanders farther and farther from the parent and checks over the shoulder to know all’s secure. The dog that gathers the ball and brings it back, over and over and over. The couple past their 80’s who walk clasping each other’s hand. Worth looking for such instants.

Finding amazement is not difficult. It only takes a little looking. Making time to realize the peace from the amazement all around us isn’t too hard either. Have a go with amazement.

Amazing Presence,
you offer such abundant and continuous
demonstrations of your creation.
The blessings of Peace from which all is
are startling and exciting by their very being.
The beauty of a poppy, the magnificence of Mt. Everest,
the perfection of the seasons, the essence of a tear:
all these and so much more reveal to us
the Perfect All with which we are One.
Allow us our amazement, give us the freedom
and the grace to pause and know with wonder
how blessed we are by being One with All.
And so it is. And so we thank you, GOD.
Amen. Amen.

Enjoy Peace. Express Peace.
