My friend Dan posted this quote this morning on Facebook:
"There is hidden beauty in the ordinary, and great beauty in the overlooked. Little things are big, less is more. Imperfection is beautiful. Paradoxes such as these fascinate me."
— Abby Ross
Isn't that the truth! He and I have had these kinds of conversations more than once. Coffee in my favorite chair in the quiet of the morning as the sun is coming up is one of my favorite simplicities. No cars yet. No noise. No work. No squawking news. Just coffee, me, and the sunrise. When you get into and/or achieve that mindset, the ordinary world around takes on profound beauty. A bee moving from flower to flower, trees rustling in the wind, rain on the pavement; they all let us know we're part of something incredibly larger and uncomplicated. That's the beauty part, if we understand how to recognize it, embrace it, and let it embrace us.
