This is truth, and good writing to boot. It reminds me of when I moved from flatlands to live in the Rocky Mountains, there was this huge gut recognition of “At last! A landscape large enough to put my ego in its place!”

This resonates so much with me! Sunsets, mountains, waterfalls, oceans … the way they can catch your attention away from whatever busyness you’re occupied with in a moment, they way they inspire wonder and gratitude… I never really named that feeling before. But I love the idea that it is awe and that it’s power lies in shifting our increasing-internal perspective back out to the larger picture we are a part of ❤️
