Sacred Awe

13 06 2012

“The highest point a man can attain is not Knowledge, or Virtue, or Goodness, or  Victory, but something even greater, more heroic and more despairing: Sacred Awe!” -Nikos Kazantzakis

Sacred Awe! That is what I want in my life. That is what I need in my life.

Too many times I see each day as a humdrum as something to be endured with occasional high points here and there. Or at least that’s how life used to be.

But I hunger for meaning, for purpose.  I know that living is not in the highs nor is it in the lows.  It is in the in betweens of every day life. But even in daily life there is magic and I want to capture that.

I want to be child-like, to see everything as new and exciting. I want to laugh without a reason, to smile without a cause.

The unknown used to be scary. The future was something to dread. But now, a miracle is happening in my soul.

I am starting to get excited about my life.  The unknown is a blank slate for God to write a beautiful message to me with His own hand. There is a sense of electrical anticipation of what wonder will happen next.

May Sacred Awe come down upon me. May it come down upon you. May we spend the rest of our days living in truth, beauty, and wonder.
