Heart’s Attention

My favorite countries are the ones I didn’t plan on visiting. That I didn’t see coming. That took me by surprise. Sometimes, life’s greatest beauties are the ones that sneak up on you. That were always there, but needed the right circumstances or little nudge to get your heart’s attention.

They are everywhere, waiting to be discovered. All you have to do is look for them. Keep your eyes open and your ears pressed close to the pulse of everything. Children see the magic of the world and dream while awake. It’s often the adults, too focused on reality, who lose sight of the dream and the beauty we cannot always create but can appreciate.
