Seeing The World With Fresh Eyes

Curiosity and wonder - those child-like qualities we tend to lose as adults - shift our experience of life and help us stay mindful and present. I practice this daily in the observation of my surroundings... seeing the details often overlooked. When I look past the obvious to the small details, life takes on a fresh and much deeper perspective. A great example is the park where I walk my dog every day. I suspect most people rarely get past simply seeing it as a "park" with a playground, trees, and a few benches. However, I notice the tiny, beautiful flowers that grow from the so-called weeds. Beautiful colored flowers in purple, pink, yellow, dark and light blues. I also notice how the cold of winter changes the color of some of weeds to have Fall-Like color! The thing is, they are so tiny most people don't see them. It's in being fully present, mindful, and curious that we start seeing the richness in the world around us. I challenge you to take a moment today and notice things around you that you normally wouldn't... with fresh eyes of curiosity and wonder! #TierOneLiving #SeeTheBeauty #mindfulness
