Wonder
Reverence
Reverential fear
An exclamation mark
Noting the marvellous
Seeing everything as a miracle
A positive or a negative experience
Fear mingled with admiration or reverence
Dread inspired by something great, or terrific
The sense we have of our own smallness in the face of bigness
A feeling related to wonder, admiration, elevation and the sublime
A feeling of being in the presence of something vast that transcends our understanding of the world
When we sense there is something much bigger than us, that has a natural importance that dwarfs our own
An overwhelming and bewildering sense of connection with a startling universe that is usually far beyond the narrow band of our consciousness
