Very much admired this writing. Appreciate the singling out of awe to our attention. What is Awe's relation to Wonder (not in the sense inquiry, but in the sense behind 'wonder'ful)?
Wonder is more of a sense of amazement and curiosity, whereas awe is more of an emotional response to something extraordinary. For more on wonder, I recommend Caspar Henderson's book "A New Map of Wonders: A Journey in Search of Modern Marvels" http://www.anewmapofwonders.com/
Thanks! Awe, wonder, puzzlement, terror, interest..all so interesting..some emotions, some not, some often juxtaposed, others not. Some of these responses (for lack of a better word) to that mysterious thing we perhaps artificially partition off and call the "external world," are transcendental in the sense of being a property of the thing-in-itself, independent of observer...
On your recommendation I ordered two of Caspar's books..!
