In terms of character traits … studies have found that awe is correlated to traits like gratefulness, a love of learning, creativity, and appreciation of beauty.*
Jonah Paquette

Ecoutez le murmure
De la lune et soleil
A l’aube, ils chantent
‘Accueil, accueil’ 

Listen to the whisper
of the moon and sun
At dawn, they sing
‘Welcome, welcome’**
Lemn Sissay

To the non-human
the world is full of signals,
To the human, it’s
full of signs, feeding
curiosity, questions,
Imagination, inventiveness.

Does awe grow gratitude, learning, creativity, and beauty?,
Or is it the other way around?:
Yes, yes –
We are awe-extenders.
