The wonderful scholar Abraham Joshua Heschel defined spirituality as “the part of the reality that cannot be captured by thought or language.” He also shared my belief that spirituality is not optional but essential for human existence. We all have moments when we experience something deep within us that is special and hard to describe. For me personally “awe” is a good word to use, when we are touched by something so pure and profound that we have no words to describe it. I truly believe that spirituality is essential not only for our well-being, but also that of our planet Earth. It’s as if we are deeply united in these brief moments and encounters. "Awesome" experiences are often related to Nature, which never ceases to amaze me. It’s also possible though to consciously practice spiritual nature connection, and here are some wonderful books to guide us. Alex Koster, Roots and Wings
