As a society, it’s a shame that we don’t focus on the little things.

Our minds tend to dwell on the big things,

making it impossible for us to comprehend the most beautiful details.

We don’t see the individual raindrops setting on window sills…

or a beam of light reflecting off puddles of water.

We tend to see the storm before we can understand the darkness…

we get startled by the hurricane before we think to follow the wind.

Perhaps if we contemplated the darkness and followed the wind…

we would find light where it’s seldom found,

and a calmness that we would’ve never achieved.
