Moments of awe and wonder...

Tweet

What moments of awe and wonder have you had in your life? I can remember seeing a hummingbird alight on a dry twig at the top of a tree. I was in wonder at its stillness. I stopped all of my own movements. I stood so still that I almost stopped my breath. I paused and watched that hummingbird until it finally took flight. I also remember standing looking down at a vista at the beautiful hills and valleys below and seeing a rainbow and clouds... feeling the wind blow softly and just being at home in the wonder of that time. Moments of awe and wonder come unbidden and we are swept away into an inner state that seems timeless, quiet, at one with, open, content, happy, relaxed, calm, blissful, or just accepting of the present moment in all of it subtle beauty... What moments of awe and wonder have come into your life? What did you see, feel, hear, or experience that made this moment of wonder possible?
