I read this morning @genuinely.healthy that
Neuroscience shows awe slows down your perception of time. When you witness something vast – stars, mountains, or oceans – your brain expands the moment, stretching seconds into memory. That’s why awe makes life feel longer, richer, and more meaningful. It literally bends how you experience existence
I concur. Here in the wide green spaces of Holyrood, beneath a volcano that last erupted more than 40 million years ago, I know daily experience of awe. It calls out my soul to encounter the very Universe in which I am placed, the love that sustains me, and the greatness of the gift of life in me and in all things. Yes: awe expands my perception of time, and of love.
(There’s a Piper in the doorway of St Anthony’s Chapel here, and the haunting melody of his music is echoing around Holyrood Park)
