What the heck is this cinnamon roll?

I know.

Yeah, not only that, and that's the novelty of all, but then you're like,

You're listening to the little kids play music and you're, you know, somebody gives you some fresh kale and you see the next person in the eyes and you give somebody a hug and somebody's reading poetry.

And next thing you know, you're like, there's a lot of awe here and a lot of collective life.

So it's a deep need that we have.

And what I loved about studying awe is here it is, this transcendent experience and usually associated with spirituality.

But it really is everywhere.

And so we got to remember that.

I continue to study this.

One of our most common sources of awe worldwide is nature.

Big trees and oceans and the pattern of waves and electrical storms and the big night sky.

There's work by Troy Allen in Utah on just getting people out to look at the big sky.

You know, and the stars.

In England, they have the Cloud Spotting Society.

Just nature is filled with awe.

It's so remarkable, Allie.

A lot of our sensory systems are finely tuned

to feel awe in response to nature.

So when we hear running water, we feel awe.
