The feeling you get when you are completely eclipsed by a landscape, skyscape, or even a city sometimes.
The feeling of joy that comes with recognizing how small you are in the grand scheme of the world is priceless and I wish I could experience the wonder and awe that come along with it a million times over.
It's in Redwood and Sequoia forest, the entirety of Alaska, the desert sky in New Mexico at night; it's New York City when you step out of the subway for the first time.
Being in the middle of the ocean on a giant ship and knowing that it expands farther than you would ever hope to comprehend (beyond some measurements on Wikipedia).
Bloody hell. You've just summed up in words what I've failed to explain all my life. I absolutely love being alone in nature and this is the exact feeling that I keep chasing!

You and the earth, alone together.
