The ordinary things
that we see are easy to pass by. We take them for granted and move on to
whatever is next. But maybe if we allow ourselves to look at things
differently, we may notice something new about the usual.
I like to take a
walk each day. It’s a simple exercise that gets me out of the house and helps
me to see beyond my own walls. Most of the time I just follow the same routine
and see the same things though every now and then I’m startled to see a
different view of something ordinary.
On one of our trips,
the woman who cleaned the rooms put out towels on our bed that looked like swans!
It perked us up after a busy, tiring day and encouraged us to be present to
what we were seeing.
The ordinary can be calming because we don’t
have to pay it any attention but viewing things in a new way can help us expand
ourselves and have fun at the same time.

I love the photos by Helgo Stentzel and, just like Ferida, her comments are glorious and inspiring.
