Thank you for the article "The Science of Awe" (November/ December). What the author describes is so true. What has drawn me to nature for all of these years has been to re-experience that wonderful state of "awe" that soothes my soul, calms my nervous system, and restores the feeling that "all is right in the world" at this moment. When our jaws drop and our eyes widen in delight at what we see in front of us, we are returning to that childhood state of wonderment. These moments have the power to open our hearts and shift our perspective on life. Add "promoting mental health and well-being" to the list of reasons to protect wilderness!
