An incredible sense of vastness, and somewhat strangely, interconnectivity. Stepping outside to stand before this, I had no prior sense of whether I was happy, sad, tired or even grumpy. But as I watched, as I marveled, slowly I became aware of a great joy - and gratefulness. Maybe that is all that is needed. To observe without judgement. “
