Morning Meditation Sit — Be Amazed
To be is to stand for.
And what human beings stand for is the great mystery of being God’s partner.
To be partners with God we must keep our own amazement, our own eagerness alive.
Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement.
Get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed. (Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel (whose yortzite was Wed Jan 15, 18 Tevet)).
