Sublime encounters with the world

What is sublime? This is a concept debated by philosophers. For me, it is any experience that provides me and my family with a sense of awe and good feelings. Below is our running list of sublime encounters from our trip around the world.

  • The glitter of snow in the sun – Yellowstone
  • Watching whales breach the ocean surface near the shore where we stood – Cabo San Lucas
  • Arriving in a warm place after a cold day of skiing
  • Watching our children b come themselves
  • Soaking in a natural hot spring while snow falls – Steamboat Springs, CO
  • Visualizing the night sky without light pollution (hopefully we’ll be able to change this to ‘experiencing’ in New Zealand)
  • Communicating in a different language
