Finding awe

When we experience something that feels greater than us, it takes us completely outside of ourselves. Out of our heads, out of our worries, out of our feelings of separateness and self-importance. We become overwhelmed by flood of emotion, as if our whole heart, our whole body, was expanding. It can almost be uncomfortable. ⁠

Can you think back to a time when you felt a sense of awe and feel it well up in your body, just a little bit again? As if you took a little bit of that place with you, and the experience continues to live on within you...?⁠

Where were you? What did that feeling tell you? How can you listen to it again? ⁠
