Awe temporarily makes ego forget to be the largest thing in the room.

Most of the time you are the largest thing in your own field of view, the reference point everything else is measured against. Awe suspends that. For a few moments, in front of something vast, the constant background project of yourself goes quiet, and the relief of that is a large part of why the experience feels so good. It is a break from being the center.

Seek out the things that reliably do this to you: water, height, music, old buildings, the night sky. Go without an agenda. The relief is real, and it is one of the few reliable ways to get a rest from your own concerns.
