We actually exchanged names and phone numbers.
Once a year, we're going to call each other back and remember the day.
It was literally this astonishing thing.
Then you get back in the car and like, whoa, what was that?
So, yeah, that was a pretty cool sunset.
You know, wonder comes from curiosity and mystery.
The apex of the curious experience is to apply curiosity to something we can't fully understand, of which there are many.
Even if we later will understand the science behind it, that doesn't take all the quality away.
Even on a sunset, I mean, I can go to, you know, a light specialist in the physics department.
He'll explain to me exactly why a sunset works the way it does.
Or as the old Noel Stuckey song says, you know, a scientist may tell you how night turns into day, but it can never take the wonder away.
So if I allow the wonder of something to get to me and I let my curiosity fall into it without suddenly trying to diagnose and deconstruct the thing technically...
I allow myself to have this deeper experience of wonder, of awe.
What does that really mean?
It means there's something bigger than me going on.
What Maslow finally realized was a higher experience than self-actualization, which is self-transcendency.
What was going on in that amazing sunset was a whole bunch of people were having a transcendent moment.
And as it was shared, we became even more human with one another.
So that's what wonder does.
It really leans us fully into our humanness.
