Welcome Back to Wonder

Awe is what moves us forward. Joseph Campbell

We were meant to live in this transformed state of attention, not just long for it or experience it rarely. It is the real. It is what makes you real. To be spellbound, captivated, filled with wonder, held in aesthetic arrest, awestruck. 

It is in this state of wonder that we find our ability to find ourselves. To be real. And to accept real truth that transforms us into everything we truly long to be.

Awestruck Podcast is a hero’s journey to the center of you. Join us on the journey.

Wonder is like grace, in that it’s not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. Wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. We can seek truth without wonder’s assistance. But seek is all we’ll do; there will be no finding. Unless wonder descends, unlocks us … truth is unable to enter. Wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. Or something even closer. Wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin. – David James Duncan
