“That Shiver of Awe”

Awe is that big emotion that jumps up and surprises us, sometimes when we least expect it. A sunset, a birth, a death or a perfect triple-double flip performed by Simone Biles touches us. This sermon explores the spiritual emotion of awe, which connects us to big truths about life and our place in it.

My bio: Rev. Katie A Larsell is a community minister affiliated with Eastrose Fellowship Unitarian Universalists in Gresham, Oregon.
