Browsing
through the Bible recently, I was surprised to come upon this phrase in Psalm
106: “the wonders in the land of Ham”. I’m sure I nodded and smiled, since I’m
often called Ham, and since the land of my life is definitely full of wonders. Like
all of us, I have a fair share of struggles, but they are easily outweighed by
the wonders. To me, it’s a wonder that blood brings fresh energy to my body moment
by moment, and that my lungs repeatedly lift with new life. As I write this,
I’m amazed that I’m partaking in the full-of-wonders process of being part of
this universe, a process that started and continues with no help from me. As I
sit with my laptop in the shade on this summer day, wonders work their magic
all around me – tree limbs turning almost tenderly in a wind, a leaf falling to
the grass with gracefulness, a sky carrying clouds no one has ever seen before.
Yes, in the land of Ham (Salsich), each second brings a surprise, and each day
makes way more wonders than struggles.
