As we wait and pray, God weaves his story and creates a wonder. Instead of drifting between comedy (denial) and tragedy (reality), we have a relationship with the living God, who is intimately involved with the details of our worlds. We are learning to watch for the story to unfold, to wait for the wonder. ↗
Can you feel the wind/Of Venus on your skin? Can you taste the crush/Of a sunset's dying blush? Stars will always hang/In summer's bleeding vein Seas forever boil/Trees will turn to soil Can you feel the rings/Of Saturn on your fingers? Can you taste the ghosts/Who shed their creaking hosts?

You run or sail or race in a sleigh--you're running away from someone, or you yourself have decided to attack--your heart thumps, life flies by, and it's wondrous: you can live as many different lives as there are books to read. ↗
I think us here to wonder, myself. To wonder. To ask. And that in wondering bout the big things and asking bout the big things, you learn about the little ones, almost by accident. But you never know nothing more about the big things than you start out with. The more I wonder, the more I love. ↗
