Day 4 · Reflection

Go and find some awe

Walk somewhere today where you can see something far bigger than you, and stay a minute.

Awe is the feeling of being small in front of something vast: a sky full of weather, an old tree, the sea doing what it has always done. Researchers who study it find that people who feel it regularly report more calm and more generosity. You do not need a mountain. A hill at dusk, the wind moving through a big tree, the stars on a clear night from a dark corner of a park. Go, look up, and let the world be bigger than your to-do list.
