To Be or Not to Be—in Awe

When before the beauty of a sunset or a mountain, you pause and exclaim, “Ah,” you are participating in divinity. ~ Joseph Campbell

“The sense of wonder, that is our sixth sense. And it is the natural religious sense.” ~ D. H. Lawrence

A moment of awe is a moment of self-consecration. They who sense the wonder share in the wonder. They who keep holy the things that are holy shall themselves become holy. ~ Abraham Joshua Heschel.

Awe enables us to see in the world intimations of the divine, to sense in small things the beginning of infinite significance, to sense the ultimate in the common and the simple, to feel in the rush of the passing the stillness of the eternal.  ~ Abraham Heschel
