I read once that perhaps the best name for God is surprise. I wonder how I may be surprising people (sometimes I even surprise myself), and I wonder if I am attentive enough to other people to be surprised. I often welcome the surprises that God wishes to bring ... many times the surprises are things or happenings that I never could have imagined ... and always a gift in some way. Reminds me of a short poem from my book, Everyday Sacred.
Surprise
If you live in today
you will welcome the surprise of tomorrow

Hey, thanks for the photo - giving all of us a glimpse, too . .

I love surprises from God, like when I saw an owl on the house next door, or a turkey buzzard sitting by the road and a cyote running through a field. I love the little nest you found. It looks like a Weaver's nest, but I really don't know.
I had a friend who described these magnificent moments in our life as souvenirs to be treasured.
Nature demonstrates our true beauty.
