Time and Wonder

I was awakened this morning by an alarm, a soft musical sound but just the same an alarm.   The holidays are over and it's back into the world of clocks and calendars.  And this has me thinking about time and how we perceive it, order it, and experience it.  I nearly used the word "spend" instead of experience but resisted the urge to see time as a commodity that is bought, sold and spent.

I'm wondering this morning how to bring some of the timeless rhythm of holidays into work days, how every night can be New Year's Eve, every morning New Year's Day, every day a Christmas birthday of God in our lives, and every moment an experience of One Eternal Presence of life.  Then again, just to wonder it may be enough.
