Take a walk today and tell me what you see.
Describe everything, everyone you meet and the general mood of the places you visited.
When ever I can, I try to carry a camera with me...I make every effort to capture something of that moment just in case my memory fails me in the future.
I also make every effort to capture beauty, to hold it close, to protect me from all the ugliness in the world...as there is far too much of that which at times has the potential to swamp any good we may see in people and places that deserve better.
If you look for something, you will find it, there is always beauty to be found...a peaceful place to catch your breath...a laugh to be shared with someone along the way.
A valuable lesson I recently learned was the ability, the skill if you like...to be open to every possibility, when Winter has drained the colour from the earth, the sun will shine upon a particular leaf...reminding you that nothing ever ends, there is always hope of a new tomorrow.
A raindrop resting in the crease of a tree can shine a tiny world into existence...gently tapping you on the shoulder, asking you to acknowledge your place in this world, asking you to acknowledge your own beauty and to reflect it back so that others may see the world through your eyes in turn...taking time to point out magic in the tiniest of moments can shift mountains...it may even change perceptions of how the world really is.
