Week 32 - See the smallest things

One change each week. This week: See the smallest things.

Georgia O'Keeffe said:

Nobody sees a flower, really, it is so small. We haven't time - and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

These are powerful words.

For some time I have been increasing my consciousness of the details around me - the small things that we totally overlook as we scurry from here to there.

So this is not so much a sudden change for me. It is more of a rededication and a refocus on the often unseen world around me.

The opportunities are endless. Georgia O'Keeffe (famous for her paintings of flowers) talked about flowers. There are leaves, bugs, paintings, fabrics, children, buildings.

The point is to take one of these things, and then take the time to see it. Just sit and see it.

The wonders of the universe often are found in the smallest things, if only I will take the time to see them.

What about you?

Can you take the time to see - really see - one small thing? Sure you can. Try it. You'll like it.
