Awestruck Happiness

Reverence

“Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.” ~John Milton

Of all the colors happiness wears, the one that sweeps us most deeply to its core is awe.   It bathes us in a kind of majestic silence, stilling our racing thoughts and opening our hearts in a glorious gratefulness for the sheer privilege of being alive in the midst of this beautiful, unfathomable mystery.

As it washes through us, awe both humbles and exalts us, and the only response we can make is one of thanksgiving.  And because awe is so linked to gratitude, gratitude is a pathway that leads us to it.  Practice gratitude until you feel it in your bones, and you will be transformed with reverence for life, and with exquisite joy.
