I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Psalm 139:14
Have you ever rested for a moment
on some couch or bed
and thought about the universe
of solar systems
moving and singing and carrying on
beyond your knowing?
Not the universe outside of you.
I mean the one you carry around with you—
the one that carries you.
The suns and moons and stars
that exist inside you.
The interconnected galaxies
working together in thousands of ways—
moving, vibrating, communicating.
The lights of neurons pulsing.
The pathways crowded with cargo,
traveling hurriedly, like shooting stars.
All of it acting as one organic unit,
without a thought from you.
It all goes on without you doing a thing.
Mostly without your noticing,
without your being stunned silent—
hushing all other thought or action—
to be in awe
of the wonder you are.

Oh, yes. Oh, yes, yes, yes!
Thank you for catching this piece of awe-inspiring wisdom. This resonates with me, And my life’s path.
In this piece you remind me of Hafiz!! Very paced and clear.
I really love this. I am taking a photo of it so I can read throughout this detox journey.
I am so thankful for you, and honored to be one of the people who get to love you!
Love, Kelly
Kelly, writing is often like “catching a piece” isn’t it? That is how this felt for me.
Thank you for your generous response. Most of all, thank you for your beautiful, open hearted love.
Such a beautiful metaphor – I’ve never thought of myself like this – it is wonderful, I am wonderfully made!
You are wonderfully made, Tertia. In so many ways. Thanks for your response.
Wow Juanita! My spirit leapt at this wonderment. Thank you. Thank You, Jesus!
My spirit leaps at this, too, Sandy. Standing in awe.
