Values in the News: The Wonder Above Us

Skies across the U.S.—even in states like Alabama and Georgia—glowed with the Northern Lights, painting colors where they’re rarely seen.

CNN: Solar storm may make Northern Lights visible in southern U.S.

For a brief moment, millions looked up together.

No politics. No noise. Just wonder.

That’s the quiet power of awe—it softens us, humbles us, and reconnects us to something greater than ourselves.

The Values:

 • Awe: A reminder that life still holds beauty beyond our making.

 • Humility: Even our biggest plans unfold under a vast, mysterious sky.

 • Connection: The same light touched every horizon.

 • Gratitude: Wonder opens the door to thankfulness.

 • Presence: When we pause long enough to notice, meaning meets us there.

The Takeaway:

• We live surrounded by miracles we rarely stop to see.

• Wonder isn’t a distraction—it’s direction. It points us back to purpose.

So tonight, look up.

Let awe reset your pace, refocus your priorities, and remind you:

The world is bigger, brighter, and more beautiful than the headlines suggest.
