“wonder is unique as well because it often commingles with awe, which I think of as wonder’s larger-than-life cousin. Awe arises in moments of vastness as we feel small while gazing at an infinitely starry sky, a tumultuous and vast ocean, or a towering and cavernous Gothic cathedral. Wonder, though, can appear in the size of an ant. More than awe, wonder helps us see the familiar in a fresh, new way. We can appreciate just how extraordinary an ordinary moment can be.”
