A Few of the Things that Awe and Amaze Me

How tiny seeds, with nothing more than water, grow into huge plants and trees.

The origin of life and matter.  Unfathomable.

The diversity of the animal kingdom.

The depths of space.

The capacity to feel and experience emotion.  What elates us?  Why we love. 

Majestic mountain ranges.

The speed at which insects can move.  The size of their bodies compared to their legs.

How birds in a flock can all simultaneously alter direction in flight.  How do they each know what the other is about to do?

Many of the historic cathedrals in Europe.  The detail and effort and engineering that went into these marvels - some more than a thousand years ago!!
