your daily rock : let your self be awed

February 9, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

“Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.” -Thomas Aquinas

Children are our greatest teachers in awe–they are so big with wonder.

Be awed by the sky today. Or the snow. Or electricity. Or the way your heart keeps beating. Or the feeling of a hug.

Love,
