Have you ever stood before something vast—the endless stretch of desert, the towering peaks of a mountain range, or the infinite expanse of the ocean—and felt an unshakable stillness settle within you?
My most spiritual moments have come from running down mountains in Arizona at blue hour, sitting at the oceans edge at night in a downpour as the wind blows on me, meditating on a rock at the edge of a river in the sun. The stability and longevity of these things in nature remind me to chill the heck out, everything literally will be fine.
I am now reminded of my high school art teacher who used to tell us “Never lose your sense of awe”. Along the way I have forgotten that he said that until I read this article.
Wonderful. 'Enjoy the moment, don't think too deeply into it.' the more we try to make meaning out of everything we encounter, the more we complicate things and fail to see their value in the fullest.

I feel most alive when words subside.
Amen to the cultivation of the awe-like inner child in all of us
