The beauty of ordinary things
everyday things
things that are simply around us
part of the scenery
we hardly notice them
consciously
we seldom focus
to see their actual beauty
~~~~~
the background texture of our everyday life
the things we usually don’t really consciously see or acknowledge
but they are there, they are reflected in out retina, tickling into our subconscious
they are the visual context of our everyday life
they are beautiful or they are not
they are organic, alive, harmonious or they are not
they are self-chosen or forced onto our psyche
they either nurture us or not
but whatever they are, we still have a basic choice:
to see them
to receive them
to acknowledge them
to be fully aware of them
to contemplate them
to let them in
to let them talk to us
tell their story
i call it mindful seeing
fully present perception of what is there, right now, in the world i am in …..
