Everyday Beauty

We are surrounded by beauty, but in our haste to complete the next action, or because of our mature distractibility, we miss it. Spend some time with young children—or better yet—have your own, and you’ll have ample opportunity to see the world through their eyes occasionally. It’s refreshing to see how the simplest things we have now long overlooked are worthy of their rapt attention.

This photo is a brilliant example of highlighting the beauty in the ordinary. Taken by London photographer Jonny Baker, it reminds me of the power of art to draw our attention to things we’ve missed, and in that moment of connection, reach the heart.
