The Eyes of Wonder

Seeing behind the mundane is like being in love… I enjoy Photography along with so many others as it helps you to truly look… really see…

The Eyes of Wonder

When you see through Eyes of Wonder,

‘common’ sights transform to Sublime.

When you see through Eyes of Wonder,

the beauty of ‘ordinary’ becomes Divine.

Exploring surroundings in Wonder,

Life offers amazing treasures to find

hidden behind mundane appearances,

those ‘normal’ and ‘everyday’ kind.

Curiosity leads you to look deeper,

to look higher, to see everywhere around-

marvellous, magical, meaningful mysteries

thrilling the heart and stirring the mind.

When you see through Eyes of Wonder,

you fall truly in love with Life…

What others see as ‘common’, as ‘ordinary’,

is now vibrantly, vividly, vitally

Wondrous and gloriously Divine.

Awe and Wonder

 

Awe and Wonder  (my digital composition)

I live my life in awe and wonder.
So much to question. So much to ponder.

When my heart soars and my mind lifts,
a higher awareness brings its gifts.
I love this body that I wear-
flesh and bones, eyes and hair-
fed by water and soil, by light and air.

I feel more deeply and I care
for all Life’s forms evolving here
between the poles of love and fear.

I sense the others deep in space,
wishing to see them face to face
or mind to body, however strange,
as fast or slow we all change
our ideas and our beliefs
that cause our troubles and our griefs.

I sense the others here on Earth
coming from different domains of birth
amidst the stars and distant places
with different cultures and different races.

I sense there’s so, so much more
than anything we’ve known before.

We are as children in our knowing,
yet reaping all that we are sowing.
The ‘Do No Harm’ that we ignore
becomes the harm that we deplore.

Yet, I sense a shift in sight-
a New World View so clear and bright
that dark powers just disappear
with all their structures built by fear.

Our Spirit awakens and shows us how
nothing and no one can stop it now.
We gather our courage and find new ways
to live our precious, wondrous days.

We live our lives in awe and wonder.
So much to question. So much to ponder.

(Shelley Wilson June 15, 2014)

 

May your Spirit shine brightly,Shelley

Deepest Sympathy

Deepest Sympathy
When did your curious eyes glaze over?
Where did your sense of wonder die?
How did your mind become so rigid,
never stopping to question ‘why’?
