What is it that fills you with AWE?

@Indrid-Cold
Noticing the uniqueness in every people awestrucks me.
Someone's "darkness"; Your revelation of being an Author; Someone's extremely un-profane goodness; Someone's intricate knowledge about guns; Someone's acute, astute and immaculate description of their surroundings or culture; Someone's beautifully worded and researched posts once-in-a-while; Someone's poetic profile; Someone's amazingly bright optimistic face .... are some of the awestrucking things I have felt here.

In the outside world? I'm awed by every footballing tricks someone performs that I'm not capable of, Every illusion of the eye someone pulls off in front of me, Every joke that makes me laugh like hell, Every star that shines bright at night, Every person who can talk to me without words, Every living form who's existence I don't understand, Every story that makes me intrigued and Every scientific theory that opens the world's possibilities to something more.
I'm pretty awed person. :)

(EDIT):- You know what? I take my effing words of Heath Ledger's Joker being hard to compete with back. He'll be a legend for sure, but just as you said on my post..... The method actor that he is, JOAQUIN PHOENIX has effing killed it. And I'm in awe of him and the character, just as Div said before. DAMN!

Dear Rev. Cold,
For me I like the simple things in life, the things that this exhistance brings us on a day to day basis, the things many see, but don't notice
Regardless of coastline, city of out in the sticks the wonder that is both the sunrise and the sunset often blow my mind.
One of the most amazing things I ever saw was overseas where sat on a balcony enjoying time with friends the setting sun slowly crept accross the sky .... suddenly it took a nose dive towards the horizon. It happened that quick you actually noticed it setting.

I have posted here a number of times regarding another natural beauty .... this being the rainbow
The fractured light passing through those glistening droplets ..... what a sight for saw eyes. A fantastic spectical of nature.

Another thing I am oartial to, that will never cease to amaze me is the Solar Eclipse
That perfect timing and positioning of that celestial satalite between that that brings and supports life and of course this rock we live.

I could go on and on with the simple things in this life that fills me with awe and brings joy to most days But I will not for I fear I may have board you already with my love for the most simpelist of things.

@Indrid-Cold how nice ppl can be sometimes surprises me....maybe it's all about their mood :thinking_face:

You're right, Wolfman. I forgot to mention footie skills. It never fails to amaze me the fine line between a stupid foul and a perfect nutmeg, or any of that 'one touch / half touch' stuff. I'm not the biggest fan of, say, Alexis Sanchez or Oxade Chamberlain, but you've got to admit, they've got it down to an art.

And here's the thing about Joaquin Pheonix; I can never never remember how stuff like 'The Master' or 'Buffalo Soldiers' actually end, but I know when I watch them, they'll feel like my favourite films just cos he's in them. And Gladiator? I want that film playing in my coffin, because I'll NEVER get bored of it.

Every joke that makes me laugh like hell

Why should you never buy your underpants in the Ukraine? Chernobyl fallout.

@DayShifter I couldn't have said it better myself. I once saw a double rainbow sitting in the valley of some mountains, and it looked exactly like some kinda sophisticated sci fi hologram ...and the sunsets... yes, mate. They're like those fancy hologram stickers you used to get in the 80's from Toys R Us, but free. 'Heliotropic'. Always puts me in mind of The Doors of Perception, where Aldous Huxley, stoned up on mescaline, just endlessly hypes up colours.

@TheGoldenMole GM, my man...I was about to say 'settle down', but why should I? Awe is the coolest thing. If you asked me when I was truly happiest in life, this would definitely be in my top ten: about twenty years ago, I'd finish work on a Friday night, and walking home, I'd get royally drunk by supping whiskey (I haven't done this for about a 15 years, though, because it wouldn't be as cool now that I'm driving). That's viz a viz nothing: I just thought I'd say it because your post reminded me of those GOOD TIMES*.

@AuroraFan That's scary. It's almost like nature saying, 'oh, you guys are so wrapped up in the mind / brain debate, you're forgetting that the mechanisms and the chemistry of the brain are still everything.

I know right.

They sure do. Sanchez and Chamberlain are (were) fast and furious with both of ‘em capable of going and finishing a solo run.

And here's the thing about Joaquin Pheonix; I can never never remember how stuff like 'The Master' or 'Buffalo Soldiers' actually end, but I know when I watch them, they'll feel like my favourite films just cos he's in them.

I see.

And Gladiator? I want that film playing in my coffin, because I'll NEVER get bored of it.

Damn. Finally.... Someone who understands that we mortals are but shadows and dust. Its indeed a CLASSIC.

Why should you never buy your underpants in the Ukraine? Chernobyl fallout.

Uhm... Every joke that I understand and makes me laugh like hell? Also, the Chernobyl disaster makes me awestruck too. :)

@Indrid-Cold Only plant life can unlock protein straight from the Sun. Everything else rely's on 2nd hand protein. Dirty Protein. Used protein.

[Indrid Cold]

@AuroraFan And Superman. He gets his powers from the sun.

[AuroraFan]

@Indrid-Cold Plant life actually gets glucose from the sun. The protein comes from nitrates. This may even give us a clue to what has gone wrong with the kind of protein we get.

[Indrid Cold]

@AuroraFan Is it true that if you cut up a mouse's brain and put it in water, it starts to reform again? Or is that just an urban myth?

[AuroraFan]

@Indrid-Cold I will have to give that a try. I'll get back to you.

@Indrid-Cold Good moments, good times! I'm glad my post reminded you of that 😂
