BEING AWED!
Simple pleasures invite awe.
I was out early taking my dog Lucy for a walk. Unlike many of our walks I was preoccupied and wanted her ablutions to be completed quickly. As I looked to my left the morning sunrise had turned the sky into a brilliant blood orange color. I stopped – entranced by the beauty of it. As I turned to look for Lucy a rainbow was in the sky behind me.
Instead of resting in my preoccupation I entered into the awe of the moment.
Minutes later the rainbow was gone and the color of the sky was had become a dusky blue. I continued to walk slowly filled with awe and thankfulness for what I had experienced.
As I headed to my office my preoccupations seemed less important. The awe was more than just a pause in the day; it reminded to be present to awe wherever it presents itself.
Call-to-Action:
-
Be present to moments of awe
-
Take time to savor the awe
Notice how the rhythm of your day changes when simple pleasures invite you to be awed.
