Jason - thanks for the thoughtful essay. As I was reading, I recalled that in Michael Pollan’s book about psychedelics, he also touches on awe as a profoundly connecting experience. This was right around when we witnessed the total solar eclipse in a waterfront park in Cleveland with a whole lot of other people. Everyone was so friendly and joyful, it was palpable.

Amen to this: “any one of a million ways we might connect with existential realities outside our self. The magic can be small and quiet, and often is.” Words to live by.
