So honest a feeling! Being in awe... to me means being in direct commune with humanity.
A little smile on a baby's face with a little chocolate ice-cream, gives joy as a moment of awe!
I felt it while I was waiting for the food coupon at one of the eatery joints . An old, ragged man was begging for food but was being ignored by passersby. I served him my plate. He pounced on the plate. With full attention and attitude of gratitude ate his food at the extreme end of the shop under the tree.
I liked the approach with which the man sat down on the ground, with no heed to surroundings. I got a good glimpse, from a distance, to see the simplicity of the man. It was a moment of awe !Saving a bird or a kitten from dogs, lending helping hand on the road to a needy stranger, comforting a student in school uniform make me feel the bliss of aweness in the commonality of ordinary life. It's a blessing to feel, share and transform one's own life, in turn, with awe moments!!
