It's hard, man.

And it's small and narrow.

And where's my finger?

And then when I'm on stage and I feel the notes go out into this space, the vastness you're talking about, I feel like I'm part of history, right?

And I tear up and cry.

So I think you've got to send me those papers, Andrew, because I think it's fundamental, which is from small to vast.

And in fact...

We did this really cool study with Virginia Sturm at UC San Francisco, brain health.

Old people go out on an awe walk once a week for eight weeks, 75 years old or older.

And all we asked them to do is to go from small to vast and how they looked at things.

Look at a tree, look at a leaf, go out to the pattern of leaves.

It brought them awe and less physical pain.

We are a walking species.

You know, it is just in our DNA to walk.

We meandered from Africa to all the continents.

A lot of people, Rebecca Solnit writes about this, like walking is almost sacred.

It's a kind of consciousness.

Like you're saying, like, whoa, I'm picking up a vaster view of what's around me.

And I decided to just create this awe walk, you know, and I did it for a meditation group or a mindful magazine.

You just slow down.
