“Wondering” is a word connoting at least three things:
*
Standing in disbelief,
*
Standing in the question itself,
*
Standing in awe before something.
Try letting all three “standings” remain open inside of
you. This is
a very good way to grow spiritually, as long as the
disbelief moves
beyond mere skepticism or negativity. Richard Rohr

Lord
as the sun struggles to find the sky
as the darkness lingers
and seems to have no end
as I move reluctantly into yet another day
deliver me O Creative One
from easy answers
deliver me from formulas
which may make me feel more comfortable
in some small
transient way
but ultimately do not satisfy
and do nothing but rob life
my life
of the mystery of your presence
and your working
help me instead to move through each day
with openness
may honestly struggle with disbelief
may I live the questions
that in the end
I may stand in awe and gratitude
before a God,
in the midst of a life,
I do not fully understand
but in which wonderment
still lives
