First off, I find that there are periods where it feels like there is so much that I am taking in from the world that I just want (need?) to share and then there are other times that it isn’t quite there. A friend of mine would say that the muse speaks when she’s ready...This feels like one of those times. Several posts over the last few days and several more still to come. So my apologies in advance for a lot of posts recently. It will slow down eventually.
Last week (or a few weeks ago) one of the programs I listen to on NPR on Saturday afternoons talked about the importance of experiencing awe. Taking 'awe' walks improves our mental health and our ability to communicate/work with others. I've been making time to intentionally be awed since I've heard this.
Also, this photo reminds me of one of my favorite paintings, Renee Magrite's Empire of Lights.
I was not familiar with that painting until now. Just looked it up. Wow. Thank you for sharing!
I'm currently reading a book called Enchantment by Katherine May. The subtitle is "Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age." Some beautiful and deep reflections on the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. Awe is all throughout.
