Thank you for the reminder about the word “Behold” - it is truly a divine word, as Jesus used it and it appears throughout the Bible 😊. Richard Rohr calls contemplation “gazing” and he defines it as a “loving look” at whatever the eyes fall upon. I think that’s kind of like beholding.
Love this. It does carry a different energy. I’ll experiment with it … but I did begin a counter list to my list of grievances (wrote about last week) with a list of delights. Different energy than gratitude. And I think when I go out in the world seeking out the delights, I do find them. Maybe it’s a beholding!

Love this, Amy! And what wonderful photos!
Thanks Michael! I enjoyed “beholding” the small beauty around me this week.
