The idea behind this card — Awe and ache

You're allowed to be ambushed by beauty — the sky that's suddenly too much, the song. Awe and ache have always shared a door.

FEEL — The honest heart before the mystery — lament, doubt, awe, mercy

The practice

next time beauty ambushes you mid-grief, don't apologize to either one. Stand in it ten seconds longer than feels reasonable. Carrying both at once is the human posture.

Where this idea comes from

  • Dacher Keltner — awe research
