Awestruck

“In all of the natural world, we see the vestigia Dei, which means the fingerprints or footprints of God.”

Richard Rohr

Sometimes you get the opportunity to in nature to see something that takes your breath away. That is what happened when we visited Lake Bled in Slovenia. We arrived in mid morning and we were brought to the top of a Bled’s hilltop castle that sits on a rock 300 feet above the lake. When we walked up to the point where you could view the lake, it was definitely one of those breathtaking moments. The “fingerprints of God” were there for all to see and behold.

“What we cannot comprehend by analysis, we become aware of in awe. “

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Herschel

Awestruck is the right word it seems to me. Beautiful and breathtaking. Hard to comprehend with our mind but only there to behold.

Moments like these come along every so often and the only response is AWE it seems.

On the path together,
