Awesome

Passed my driver’s test. That’s awesome. The Wonder Woman movie was great. No man, it was awesome. We live in a world where the mundane is awesome, but where we are often bored or complacent. It takes a flashy marketing campaign, a life trauma of an A grade celebrity or an Olympic sized spectacle to get our attention. While the truly awesome little miracles and puffs of magic—like the blossoming of a flower over and over or the development of a child’s brain—go largely unnoticed.

The philosopher Matthew Fox has noted that our inability to find true awe in the world and to stand in awe of something has eroded our sense of our own humanity.

How is it possible after that your most unlikely existence at this circumstance of 13 billion years of evolution, conception by the sperm that became you ,and your birth with all its life possibilities, you could possibly be bored?

I we can find the ordinary to be awesome, we should be able to find the awesome in the ordinary.
