Awe

You finally made it, atop the sand dunes of the sahara, to witness the ice caves of iceland and simmer with the lava floes of the previous eruption. This is seeing the Dolomites, watching a trickshot, and reveling on a painting you have studied your whole life yet seen for the first time. Welcome to Awe.

Awe is the closest emotion to god we have. It is a response to divinity. It is seeing beauty and wishing for no changes to the present moment. Your mind couldn’t even comprehend anything else but this moment which has absorbed you.
