Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I think I’d need a grand vacation or some once-a-year spectacle to feel genuinely moved, so I just don’t
• On the rare clear night I glance up and for a second the sheer depth of all those stars hits me
• I can’t exactly hop on a plane to see the northern lights, but I’m stuck at home most nights half-watching something while scrolling my phone
• I keep thinking wonder is something that only happens at a mountain or a grand canyon, so I save it for some trip I never take
• I half-believe I’m just not a wonder person because I never get anywhere grand, but every so often a song or a turn of phrase or the light hitting something just right genuinely stops me
