I read an interesting article on the internet this morning about the health benefits of being awed.  I guess that I am easily awe struck, and it turns out that it is good for me.  The definition of awe cited in the article was:  the emotion we feel in response to something vast that defies our existing frame of reference in one area or another, and leads us to change our perception of that frame of reference.
I can't wrap my mind around it.  Beyond my reasoning.  I just stare at or contemplate something in utter amazement.  Those would be my simpler definitions.
So, if you ever catch me just staring blankly at a tiny spiders massive engineering feat with the early morning dew shooting rainbows of light off of it, don't worry about me, I am just improving my health.
