What amazes me is that every time we see a baby, a cat or a dog, we instinctively talk in lower, sweet tone. We do not have to remind ourselves, it just comes naturally to us. As if our normal tone wouldn't be deciphered

I am amazed how we are all drawn to water. The lake, sea, river, a warm bath, hot tun, cold plunge. We crave our origin space, I suppose--amniotic fluid or primordial ooze. We wade, dive, float. Submerge.

Wow, Catherine. Falling into a pool of amazement at this. Started meeting my need for water in the last couple of years. Still a long way to go. Thank you for this nudge. 💙🌸

What amazes me is human resilience in the face of adversity, and human compassion in the face of hatred. What amazes me is the human capacity to emerge from our traumas and to forgive and continue to believe in love. What amazes me is how love moves the world in an upward spiral!

What an ode to wonder. I had the same "no-exams-coming-up" look as Biology lab skeleton while reading this beauty 💝
