I was influenced both by a lot of journaling about awe spiritual journaling Environmental journaling nature writing and then edmond berk this irish philosopher Uh in 1757 who said Really awe comes out of this sublime as the result of two things. There's something powerful and obscure you don't understand it and Jonathan heiden I translated that to things that are vast vast skies vast You know sets of stars that big people big ideas And then mystery right like your mind Tries to grasp it and it's like I can't make sense of that So those two qualities produce this emotion we call awe.
