“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.”
Albert Einstein
Awe is an attitude of mind that allows us to see things differently. It includes appreciation for detail, beauty and significance. It is the feeling of reverence or admiration that comes from witnessing something grand like a canyon, sublime like a dance, or powerful like a thunderstorm. You can practice awe by taking time to truly look at something and list all its qualities. Take something that is in your personal environment right now and really look at it and attempt to describe it to someone who is not present. How would you convey every detail of the object as well as the feelings you have when you touch it or see it?
