Would you like some awe with that?

I think there is more going on than we can see or understand, and we need to find a way to lean into the mystery of things – the impossibility of things – and recognise the evident value of doing that, and summon the courage it requires to not always shrink back into he known mind.*
Nick Cave

The very moments that make us go “wow!” are the very same moments that can change our lives.**
Oliver Burkeman

Stay a while longer,
Stretch your unbelieving,
See what is happening,
Reflect on it some,
Be open to the possibility,
Allow the unknown to enfold you,
You’re learning to dance with mystery,
Transfigured by life.

*Nick Cave and Seán O’Hagan’s Faith, Hope and Carnage;
