Departure & Return

~~
The journey of faith is a conscious, perpetual departure from cynicism and return to wonder.

I am so glad to know I am conscious because I have been wondering lately. Honesty.

Its hard when you/I want to live in wonder and people around you get mad cause you like to look at the possible positive side and believe in the wonder that is God. I think that is why we can stick out our tongue :)

Thank you for your blog I very much enjoy it

Your loved

Thanks for commenting, mrs zeke -- it is good to hear from you.

Here is one of my favorite bits of wisdom on the topic of wonder...

"Concepts create idols. Only wonder understands."
Gregory of Nyssa (Cappadocia, 4th Century)

Sorry it took me so long to get back I have been caving its something I do when I get to deep.

And I agree concept runs the risk of a creation one can fathom wonder does not have those boundaries it's really free

Being free is wonderment in practice

Your loved perfectly

Caving?! Are you kidding - like, spelunking? Yikes... I get nervous just thinking about it!
