The Antidote for Awe

from The Everyday Human · host Eastin DeVerna

August: On Wonder and AweAugust 25Lose yourself in the stars and the thought of how miniscule you are in the vastness of the universe. Lose yourself in the thought that you are but one soul among billions trying to make it just as you are in a mischievous and mercurial world. Be shattered by the magnitude of the mountains and lose your mind contemplating the vastness and mystery of the sea. But don’t forget to turn away when you’ve had enough. Don’t forget to, when you need to, shut out the immensity in a quiet room by a fire.Reflection title: The Antidote for AweCreative inspiration:  J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the KingReflection question: Have I lost myself in wonder and awe to the point of feeling too insignificant? Do I need to ground myself once in a while and remember that while I am small, my life is still mine and still matters?
