A Dose of Wonder

So I actually grabbed the wrong book this morning but this Madeleine L'Engle quote will work fine.

When I need a dose of wonder I wait for a clear night and go look for the stars. In the city I see only a few, but only a few are needed. In the country the great river of the Milky Way streams across the sky, and I know that our planet is a small part of that river of stars, and my pain of separation is healed.

Dis-aster makes me think of dis-grace. Often the wonder of the stars is enough to return me to God's loving grace.

Glimpses of Grace; p.66
