Love making the invisible, visible.

Expand vision, 

Wonder and awe bring us into the present moment, connecting us with the divine, that possesses the power to inspire and heal us. 

Louie Schwartzberg, cinematic wizard, reconnects you with your human birthright: your innate spiritual resonance with visions of wonder and awe in the natural world.

Awe influence our decision making, rich in time, patience. Bring nature into your life. 

Gratitude, appreciate everything under the earth. 

We want healthy planet for children. Need to work, to live in a better world, as this is our one and only home and celebrate life.  

Law of hedonic adaptation, states that certain pleasures or accomplishments—a new job, a bigger apartment—start to lose some of their thrill over time. But the more we practice awe, it seems, the richer it gets. Solnit’s idea is that the self can extend into the environment. In the awe-walk condition, people’s selfies increasingly included less of the self. A brief dose of awe can reduce stress, decrease inflammation, and benefit the cardiovascular system. Luckily, we don’t need to wait until we stumble upon it; we can seek it out. Awe is all around us. We just need to know where to look for it.

There is also a beautiful book on this 'Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life' by Dacher Keltner
