Awe is...awesome. When I was doing the river guide things, days on the river through the canyons, the sights and sounds, awe was the word of the day.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-33461017095679094622023-02-13T00:04:24.378+01:002023-02-13T00:04:24.378+01:00Nice.

And when I say religieuse, I'm not talking about the pastry. Although, that pastry can stop time as well.

As if they were literary versions of Strasbourg geese. Yes, I know it sounds positively medieval or, even worse, Victorian, but at that stage it was all I had to offer; I had been brought up with two brothers and knew nothing about the needs of girls. Extirpation also played a part in this process. notably ridding them both of an excessive use of the qualifier "really" (pronounced "reelly"). Eg:<br /><br />Me: How good was the concert?<br />Either of them: It was reelly good, Dad<br />Me: How good?<br />Them: Reelly good.<br />Me: Was it reelly, reelly good?<br /><i>Und so weiter...</i><br /><br />I can't pretend I won. But these days when these two sexagenarians use that qualifier, there's a slight pause in recognition of the fact that while they refused to be bullied they didn't see me as a Dickensian villain.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-81808363094548062692023-02-06T05:45:28.211+01:002023-02-06T05:45:28.211+01:00I love the nun's prayer and I love that she kn...I love the nun's prayer and I love that she knew you weren't keen on repeating a prayer of her's.

All my walks throughout my life have been "awe walks," although I'd never thought of it that way. Now I feel as if I have met that Irish nun who connected with the Navajo prayer and with you. amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-15971233989438895142023-02-06T00:51:13.127+01:002023-02-06T00:51:13.127+01:00awesome it's, like.... :) Where did you live ...awesome it's, like.... :) Where did you live i wonder? and why were people impeccably dressed?jozienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212900310477832041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-14076160882254326092023-02-05T21:11:19.868+01:002023-02-05T21:11:19.868+01:00Religions often claim and use the very human feeli...Religions often claim and use the very human feelings and experiences of awe to make the case that their version of god-belief is true. <br />I think that one of the very best things about being human is, in fact, our ability to be in awe. To experience that which takes us to a place which is so far from our daily experiences, and yet can be caused by them.
