Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age by Katherine May
4.0
I wish I had more time to reflect and ponder on her stories ;) but I did get a few wonderful ideas I’ll try to implement in my life -
“I think I'm beginning to understand that the quest is the point. Our sense of enchantment is not triggered only by grand things; the sublime is not hiding in distant landscapes. The awe-inspiring, the numinous, is all around us, all the time. It is transformed by our deliberate attention. It becomes valuable when we value it. It becomes meaningful when we invest it with meaning. The magic is of our own conjuring.”
Which also means - this isn’t limited by your environs, you can make enchantment out of nearly anything.
