I realize that I have been only skimming the surface of Wonder and what it means.
I have mainly been focusing on Wonder as the way I feel when I witness a stunning sunset or watch the peaceful sleep of a newborn.
Wonder goes even deeper than that.
In a post I wrote a few months ago titled Love Wonder Grace, I shared the following realization I had about Wonder.
Wonder is the perception, realization, recognition of Source within one of its creations. The feeling we call Wonder is the coming home, however briefly, to the knowing that All is Source.
The recognition of Source, the knowing that All is Source, is what I was brushing past.
I realized this recently when I was thinking about contempt and recognizing where I carried this energy within me in some of my relationships.
It was a disappointing moment. Contempt is certainly not what I want to embody. Even the word brings feelings of sadness. But it was also a moment that brought a feeling of relief. Because I knew that I could now do something about it.
As I sat with my contempt, I wondered what would be a good frequency to reach for to counter its effects. Wonder, to my surprise, was the answer.
But this makes sense. How, if we have the beautiful, life-affirming ability to see Source in each and every one of its creations, could we possibly have contempt for anything? How could we consider ourselves superior to anyone?
And this is the wonder of Wonder. When we allow it to permeate our beings, we see Source all around us. We know Source all around us.
And how could we possibly hold on to a frequency like contempt in the presence of all of that?
