Ordinary treasures
Do you have an ordinary thing, in fact something that happens everyday, that you see as wonderous? I saw one of those things today while I was pulling weeds. I found a small oak tree with the acorn attached to the root. Every time I find a plant where the sprouting seed is still visible, I feel as if I've found a treasure.
Do you have something that is ordinary, but makes you think you've found a treasure when you see it?
BTW--Interesting that I didn't notice the maple seed on the rock when I took the picture.

Life is full of little treasures. I love the acorn still attached. Nature is full of surprises isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes, nature is full of surprises and I love finding them. You are finding a lot of them in your grandchildren and in the lot behind you.
DeleteI sort of feel that way about people. I feel that way when someone I've known a while surprises me with some wholly individual idiosyncrasies. It's like having blinders, that you didn't realize you were wearing, removed and really seeing someone the first time.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, but I can't think of any examples right now. I'm going to start paying more attention to people instead of taking them for granted. Who knows what I will find.
