astonished reverence

"'Astonished reverence' is the phrase people use to describe the presence of God in the world. Astonishment at the infinity of God. Astonishment that the Divine cares for us. Astonishment at the weirdness. Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine. Who starts a religion with a party trick?” – David Brooks, The Second Mountain
“Today, I walk with reverence through my happenings. Treading on city streets or on forest floors, tiptoeing in a child’s nursery or boldly striding through a business meeting, I bring astonishment into the space I take up. And, in childlike wonder, I playfully hold my adventures lightly, in awe of the beautiful weirdness that this life brings.” – Rev. Scott
