It’s my temple. 2 Reply Tahsin Tabassum11 months agoTahsin TabassumI feel humbled when I see people who are less fortunate than me in many areas 3 Reply reality11 months agorealityAlways and everywhere; nature’s miracles continually evolving and unfolding ? reality 3 Reply Malag11 months agoMalagHiking up a mountain, gazing across the hills, such a small thing in the immensity of nature. Hazing up on a crisp dark night at all the beauty of a night sky. 3 Reply Ciara11 months agoCiaraWhen the rain comes pouring down, bringing not only life to the plants and animals around us, but many times bringing destruction to the earth. When I think of this, I feel humbled. 6 Reply Cheryl Read11 months agoCheryl ReadAs I gaze out my window at the many faces in the ocean….one day calm as a lake and another like today so turbulent that it picks up a log as big as a house and tosses it like a toothpick….I am humbled. As I look at the magnificent 300 year old cedar trees…knowing that they came long before me and will be here long after…I am humbled. 8 Reply Linda11 months agoLindaNext to those huge trees in the Redwood Forest. Amazing! 4 Reply Madeline11 months agoMadelineWhen I travel, and I notice how different my ways of living are from other people’s lives. It’s a good reminder to remain open minded for other people, while also appreciating other people’s cultures and my own culture as well. 6 Reply Debra11 months agoDebraIn the bed of a Giant Redwood Forrest. In the heart of Rocky Mountain National Park hiking above the timberline. Immersed in the strong current of the St. Lawrence River and feeling its awesome force. In the Pacific, body surfing and being pounded against the ocean floor and exploding up to the surface. Slalom skiing at full throttle.

In the heart of Rocky Mountain National Park hiking above the timberline. Immersed in the strong current of the St. Lawrence River and feeling its awesome force. In the Pacific, body surfing and being pounded against the ocean floor and exploding up to the surface. Slalom skiing at full throttle. Canoeing ? in the boundary waters, in absolute silence, in the early morning light and coming across a huge male moose as surprised to see us as we were to see him. Loving the moments of nature, thankfully too numerous to enunciate here, of my blessed life. All humbling. All enlightening.

I cannot believe places like that exist in this world. The diversity of the trees, waterfalls and mist were incredible to behold and be immersed in. 5 Reply Mica11 months agoMicaAwe and love speak to me more than ‘humble’. I loved the Eastern woods where I grew up [in western PA] but lived a block from the Pacific Ocean for 27 yrs. Eventually I trained myself to love the Pacific Ocean, walking along the beach at night, seeing the occasional shooting star, and the lame sea bird walking along. 6 Reply Palm11 months agoPalmMica, I am smiling and curious about why you had to “train” yourself to love the Pacific Ocean 🙂 3 Reply Mica11 months agoMicaPalm – My heart was with the Eastern woods where I grew up and where I visited in summers at Yogaville. I’m not a water person. Silly, isn’t it?! 3 Reply Palm11 months agoPalmNot silly Mica, just self knowledge… thanks, you made me aware that I am also more of a walking than a swimming person ? 3 Reply Eva11 months agoEvaMere 1 cm layer of soil can take a few hundred to a thousand years to form. A single handful of healthy soil can contain in excess of 500 species of fungi. There are 10 000 species and a staggering 100 billion individual specimens of bacteria. A handful of soil contains more living organism than the entire population of our planet. Relationship between breast milk, microbiota/microbiome and the infant’s gut and later health. How we are all interconnected. 8 Reply Elaine11 months agoElaineWitnessing the unstoppable, insistent regeneration after the devastation of a forest fire. 10 Reply Mica11 months agoMicaThank you Elaine! 3 Reply 11 months agowherever I observe change, for example how every leave without resistance and seemingly full of devotion lets go in autumn to return to the earth where once it grew from and from where it once will return in new form, then I feel totally humbled 5 Reply Carla11 months agoCarlaDriving along a road filled with trees covered in snow & hoar frost on smaller branches -awesome. 5 Reply Michele11 months agoMicheleThe beauty of Hills Creek State Park, the drive to Key West, Bok Tower, pretty much anyplace in nature:) I appreciate bringing the ‘outdoors’ inside – my daughter and I recently stayed at the Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee Fl and the indoor atriums were absolutely breathtaking. I’m noticing there are answers from a year ago posted? 6 Reply Samuel11 months agoSamuelCades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. A beautiful valley cove surrounded by mountains and much nature untouched. On the other hand, there still remain within the Cove the remnants of hundreds of years of previous pioneer residents that called this lovely place "home" until the early 20th Century when the Park was created from their confiscated homesteads.

But the three times I was simply blown away were 1) standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon; 2) watching a glacier calving in Alaska, which now makes me sad that it was a part of the global warming trend; and 3) seeing Old Faithful blow. All three of those experiences left me feeling humbled and grateful to be a part of something so God-inspired. God was a part of that, and God is a part of me. How did I get to be a part of something so amazing? 5 Reply Antoinette11 months agoAntoinetteI’m humbled now by being so sick with migraines for 3 days. It’s amazing how we take being healthy for granted. Pain is very humbling and I am trying my best to know it will pass. 12 Reply Michele11 months agoMicheleSending you healing energy and that your migraines dissipate. 7 Reply Antoinette11 months agoAntoinetteThank you Michele. ? 2 Reply Katrina11 months agoKatrinaIf you have had migraines for long, you know a three day migraine will, indeed pass. But it is the most terrible three days of my life. Fortunately I finally found a great neurologist who suggested an infusion treatment which worked for me. I still have migraines, and the fact that I am now 66 means they are fading as my brain is aging. But it is, truly, as you say, humbling. God bless you and heal you in this journey. 6 Reply Antoinette11 months agoAntoinetteThank you Kathy. ❤️ 2 Reply Ed11 months agoEdWaking up to the silent world after a heavy snow.
