Do You Know About the Ground?

August: On Wonder and AweAugust 17“The danger!”“The danger, yes—that’s real, but I would also venture to say the business of love. I love her, Darrel. And something happens . . . once you step off the last leaf of your flower here. Your eyes open up to it all: the beauty, wonder, and yes, the danger, but no matter how hard you try . . . you can’t shut them again. Because the ground is out there, and it’s calling.”“The ground, eh?”“The ground.”“Hmph. I still think it’s dangerous.”Reflection title: Do You Know About the Ground?Creative inspiration:  Terry Pratchett, Wings Reflection question: Have I dared to venture down onto the “ground,” or have I been holing up in my flower? And if I’ve gone, what beauty, wonder, and danger have I seen? What life have I experienced? If I haven’t, what life would I like to experience?
