Look up from this screen for a moment and scan the room you’re in. What is one thing of beauty that calls your attention?
It can be anything: the dancing light coming through the window just so. The curve in the sofa. The rhythmic motion of your ceiling fan. The smell of dinner on the stove. Morning dew. Birdsong…
“You want beautiful? Watch the steam undulating and swirling off a cup of coffee, illuminated by sunlight streaming through a window.”–Amy Hillman, on Twitter.
For one minute allow your awareness to rest on the details: the shape, color, texture, sound, smell, weight…
Notice if your attention changes what you see.
Notice if your attention changes how you feel.
So tell us, how does it make you feel?
