![]() ![]() Thousands of stars shone above like diamonds on a velvet cloak and beckoned to us to stop, to enter into their reality. In the late evening just after sunset, chill mountain breezes of a summer night swirled around us, and I shivered involuntarily. So this particular evening stands out to all of us as a sort of mysteriously sacred shared event that shaped a deep part of our souls. Memorable and momentous occasions rarely announce themselves ahead of time, but often tiptoe quietly into the corners of our lives and yet leave a profound influence. (And you can listen to me tell it on the podcast today.) Today, I would like to share a part of the story of my first chapter with you so that you can enter into our wonder-filled story of an unforgettable evening as we cuddled together in the Colorado Mountains. We want something else which can hardly be put into words-to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. Wonder: (noun) “A feeling of amazement and admiration, caused by something beautiful, remarkable, or unfamil- iar” 1 desire to know something thoroughly (verb) to feel curious and engage in imagination. ![]()
