Prayer #142: Wonder
Prayer #142: Wonder
Rapt attention at something awesomely mysterious.
Someone has been whispering to me in the long dark.
The voice stirs in my heart as a baby stirs in a womb.
Cause of astonishment or admiration.
The light hasn't emerged in ages.
Yet still I sense it pulsing behind the night, aching to burst.
A feeling of doubt or uncertainty.
Are the voice and the light one?
Will the combined force mute me? Blind me?
How can I, weak and struggling, withstand its brilliance?
Miracle.
I don't know how. But I will.
For all this defines wonder.
All this defines You.
Amen.
