like the curl at the edge of a perfect white iris petal and the perfect tiny pleats of the petal itself. And I realized that one should never underestimate the value of small things and tiny moments of grace that often go unnoticed in our daily lives.

“Listen, whatever you see and love— that’s where you are.” – Mary Oliver

Walking through my days noticing these small things with great beauty and feeling gratitude for them is a gift.

“Ten times a day something happens to me like this – some strengthening throb of amazement – some good sweet empathic ping and swell. This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing I know: that the soul exists and is built entirely out of attentiveness.” – Mary Oliver

Yes there is a lot going on in the world to worry about if you choose to fill your days with worry. But there are also small things with great beauty and tiny moments of grace in every life.
