The Power of Awe

To tap into our common humanity as a way to deepen empathy and compassion for people who don't seem like us, I think is a really important thing for us to learn. That feeling you get when you're standing there on the seashore and you look up at the stars or just observe the beauty of a single grain of sand -- that's awe. And then if I were to offer one more, that's more and more meaningful for me personally: Open to all. To explore even the intersection of awe and joy, because I think they often will go together.
