  Wonder "Wonder is the quiet knowing that the world is so much more than what we can see or touch. It is the practice of beholding—not just looking, but letting the beauty before us change us. Wonder is the antidote to the lie that everything is ordinary, that the sacred has abandoned us. Even in the midst of grief, even in the unraveling, wonder reminds us that we are held by something vast and tender." Cole Arthur Riley                 The Conversation Elements From The Conversation Molly down below Music The original is much longer, but Louis Armstrong would have said that this rendition encapsulates beautifully what he wanted to convey.  A Jewish blessing at moments of celebration or wonder:  Blessed are You, Eternal God, Who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this moment of wonder. With love. George & Matilda

Verwondering "Wonder is the quiet knowing that the world is so much more than what we can see or touch. It is the practice of beholding—not just looking, but letting the beauty before us change us. Wonder is the antidote to the lie that everything is ordinary, that the sacred has abandoned us. Even in the midst of grief, even in the unraveling, wonder reminds us that we are held by something vast and tender." Cole Arthur Riley                 Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Mily Musiek Die oorspronlike is veel langer, maar Louis Armstrong sou sê dat hierdie weergawe baie mooi saamvat wat hy wou oordra. 'n Joodse seën wat saamgaan met verwondering:  Geseënd is U, Ewige God, wat ons aan die lewe gehou het, ons onderhou het, en ons tot by hierdie oomblik van verwondering gebring het. Met liefde. George & Matilda
