The boy
called 

for his brother

in the dark 

hallway as I 

sat reading 

in
bed by a 

quiet, yellow 

light.  Following 

my voice, 

he arrived

and fell 

into bed 

and sleep

simultaneously, 

like some ripe 

fruit
falling 

from the tree. 

The light 

was golden, 

as was the boy’s 

flaxen head 

and the moment 

was
sweet 

and so full,

as though he 

was the first

child ever 

and we 

the first parents 

marveling 

in
delight.

Welcome to the #SmallWonder link-up.

What if we chose to deliberately look for the small moments of wonder, the small sparks of presence, of delight or sorrow, of true humanity in which we meet God? 

That’s my proposal – that we might gather here each week to share one moment of Wonder from each of our days. 

You’re invited to link-up a brief post of about five hundred words or less about a small moment of wonder.  Don’t worry if your post is too long, too short, or not just right – you’re welcome to come as you are.  

While you’re here, please do take a look around and encourage at least one other blogger with a comment.
