This morning, I went out back with the dogs and stopped to look at a plant that grows over our fence. It's always been "there" and for that reason, I don't really look at it. It's just "there", if you know what I mean. This morning though, I looked at it. I really looked at it. A beautiful sprawling green vine, with glowing white blooms....contrasting with the weathered wood fence. And when the light bounces off it just right, the light pokes through the flowers like a thousand laser beams. Gorgeous.
So, there you have it...beautiful things aren't always at the other end of a plane ride. Beautiful things are all around us; we just have to remember to look at them. Usually, I attach a photo to accompany my nonsensical whimsy. But, this time it is not the plant I looked at in the back yard. I intentionally chose not to attach a photo of the actual plant, because you have already formed a mental picture based on my description and who am I to change that?
