"Mankind will not perish for want of information; but only fro want of appreciation. The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living."
- Abraham Heschel, Man is Not Alone
It's amazing how fast a week can go. I woke up this morning to find myself in the middle of August with a slight whiplash at how fast life moves at times. It's easy for me to get caught up in "doing" that I forget living involves "being". This morning I ran across the above quote from Abe. Once again I was reminded that realignment begins with wonder. There is such limitless beauty in creation waiting to be seen and experienced. Reflecting on this has birthed a conviction, to embrace a faith that strives to awaken others to the beauty around them. Could it be that the beginning of the fight for justice and peace, rebirth and reconciliation begins with the simple act of discovering the majestic beauty all around us? I know this...the sunlight flowing in this morning from the window has warmed more than the room.
