The Ten Days of Awe challenge, in line with the most holy season in the Jewish calendar, encourages us to pursue moments of awe and wonder.
Awe is something that adults rarely experience. I am increasingly convinced that rediscovering child-like wonder is essential for our spiritual health.

I sit in a café and watch a little girl play with her toys. ‘Wow!’. She’s focused, she’s smiling, and her eyes are filled with amazement. When was the last time you felt like that?
