When will I wonder today? I will work and solve problems and make plans and maybe worry, but when will I give the child in me permission to be quiet and wonder?
Wonder: to marvel; to be surprised; to be amazed
“Best of any song / is a birdsong / in the quiet, but first / you must have the quiet.” Wendell Berry
Lord, I must have the quiet. If I race through today, I will be very thirsty by nightfall. If I give myself permission to be quiet and wonder, even for five minutes here and there, I know that You will quench my thirst. I will practice.
“You give them drink from the river of Your delights.” Psalm 36:8
