Awe

do you have things that make you say "whoa" like Keanu Reeves? What are those things? Here are a few of mine- 1) The blinking of thousands of fireflies. As the weather here in Utah warms, I think back often to the three summers I spent in Nebraska and Indiana, and even though I loved looking at beautiful migratory birds in spring and summer, there was no equal to the sight of fireflies blinking, just tons of them, blinking white, on and off. You know how if you hit your head really hard or your wife punches you, and you see stars? That's the sight. It makes you wonder if you've hit your head. A very ethereal sight. 2) Various thoughts that involve space. Such as thinking about the Voyager spacecrafts, how far away they are, how they've both been just flying through space for 40 years, how they will absolutely continue to fly through space, in all likelihood, for eternity (or until the universe explodes or something). They will be the last remaining evidence in the universe that Earthlings ever existed. In 4 billion years, the sun is going to expand and engulf Earth. And yet they will keep flying. (unless they hit something, or get picked up by another civilization, which is probably unlikely, but who knows). Can you imagine if a satellite landed on earth that contained evidence of a distance civilization that had been gone for billions of years? Whoa. 3) The feeling of my body expanding and floating. This has only happened twice. Once when I was just laying in bed. And another time when a psychiatrist sort of "hypnotized" me into total relaxation. Hypnosis maybe isn't the right word.
