"Letâ€™s think of reverence as awe, as presence in and openness to the worldâ€¦Try walking around with a child whoâ€™s going, â€˜Wow, wow! Look at that dirty dog! Look at that burned-down house! Look at that red sky!â€™ And the child points, and you look, and you see, and you start going, â€˜Wow! Look at that huge crazy hedge! Look at that teeny little baby! Look at the scary dark cloud!â€™ I think this is how we are supposed to be in the world â€“ present and in awe."
