Look Around In Wonder

I love to read and re-read this beautiful poem Look Around In Wonder by Davis Griswold. It's a song of Wonderment, a song of Wow. The Wow experiences are happening in the Outside Natural World as well as in the Inside World, the world of the Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual dimensions. Both worlds offer gifts of surprise, wonderment and inspiration. It's a dynamic world with its own rhyme and rhythm.

The following four lines of the poem touch my heart and inspire me to live a life of wonderment:
Look above and look below And look at last within.
You'll see a river there,
And when you do, jump in.

The inner river is the river of delightful surprises, amazement, and fulfillment. I have been blessed to have such wow moments when I am in the midst of nature deeply enjoying the wonderful Divine creation and in the company of loving and caring people. It happens when I am walking on the spiritual path, receiving and offering gifts of unconditional love. Wonderment happens when I do not live in the past or worry about the future. Past is gone and future has yet to arrive. Living in the present moment mindfully with an open heart and practicing meditation regularly keeps the flame of curiosity and wonderment alive and unflickering.

​Namaste!
