a whole new world

Well, this is a whole new world for me. And I'm thinking it's kind of nice if you happen to be the least bit introverted - gives you a chance to think and practice before the words get away from you.
Why "wonder and awe"? In reaction to things like our president's naming of the events that started this current war, the "shock and awe" wave of terror. As if being able to destroy and intimidate are the things we want to hold up as important to our children.
This is my little bit of protest and a chance to add instead one small view of looking at the world with the gift of wonder and awe.
