Unnoticed Beauty

You can find beauty in the most unexpected places and overlook beauty in the places it is will known. Those places that we know beauty is, we often take for granted, hardly ever looking out from our most immediate path. Everyone that does this, including myself, miss some of the bigger picture. Or maybe we miss something even more simple, like those moments that change nothing around us whether we witnessed it ou not, except maybe the inner play of our emotions starting to move in a direction or our emotions shifting to a different direction all together.

Last week an incident like that happened to me. I was pretty much "sleep walking" for lack of a better word. All I was focused on was the sidewalk just ahead of me. Than I noticed two of something fly past my face. At first I was going to ignore it and just get back to my room as soon as possible. Of course curiosity got the better of me so I turned my head to see two butterflies tumbling in the air together. Having seen that I couldn't help smiling that that had happened. At the same time though I was sad that I hadn't noticed them when they were right there in front of me.

Think about how a moment of beauty would affect you current situation, day, and life. No matter how you look at it you can only benefit in on way or another, so look "out" for your health. I'll definitely take myself up on the challenge. Maybe I'll have the pleasure of catching the butterflies crossing my path once again.
