Always be on the watch for the coming of wonders. --E. B. White
The photo accompanying today's quote is of a rainbow and fluffy clouds over a rocky ocean shore. Is there any wonder quite like a rainbow--the sky, water and sunshine making a ribbon of colors for us, ever so briefly?
I fear that for assorted reasons we have a tendency to get jaded about life, feeling like we've seen it all. In one of my daily readings, I encountered this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, "People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character." Whoa! That's a good one to generate some introspection.
If you'd like to immerse yourself in wonders, check out the Netflix series titled "Moving Art." It is a fabulous series exploring the beauty of Earth, set to music, with no spoken word. It's mesmerizing. There are infinite wonders around our magnificent Gaia.
White's sentiment encourages us to turn off the autopilot that drives us and pay attention to what is right in front of us. Life is so much more fun if we are curiously looking for wonders rather than focusing on what's wrong with the world.
Beauty surrounds me,
Leta
