wonderful!

Wonderful is triumphant:
Real. Glorious! True-colours shining.
it is what keeps us going
when we don’t feel we can…
 
Wonderful requires Namaste eyes:
fully-open to Wonder-full-ness
consciously choosing to look
with loving and healing…
 
Wonderful does not look ‘perfect’:
…untainted, sans scars or blemishes
no colours or drawing outside the lines…
Unnatural. Unauthentic. Unattainable.
 
Wonderful is the celebration:
as Love
transforms broken…
into whole and holy and beautiful…
 
Wonderful sees beneath the surface:
mending the fractures
shining-through the cracks
closing the gaps…

Wonderful looks with new eyes:
birthing death into life
old wisdom to new earth
secular to sacred…
 
Wonderful views differently:
opening out to possibility
morphing doubt into divinity
adding ‘extra’ to ordinary…
 
Wonderful is not ‘waiting for a happy ending’:
it is learning to see in the dark
seeing ourselves and our world better.
Now.
 
Wonderful is ‘Life breaking through’
(despite the odds)
witnessed by smiles, scars, snowdrops, stars,
Spirit, stories, wrinkles…
