Reverence

He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe,
is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter
everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe
that change forever how we experience life and the world.
- John Milton

That sense of sacredness,
that thinking in generations,
must begin with reverence for this earth.
- Paul Tsongas

Appreciate again and again, freshly and naively, the basic goods of life,
with awe, pleasure, wonder and even ecstasy,
however stale these experiences may have become to others.
- Abraham Maslow

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes
the objects of his creation
and is but a reflection of human frailty.
- Albert Einstein

Look deep into nature, and then
you will understand everything better.
- Albert Einstein
