Brevity is what gives things their beauty and meaning. We assume there will always be another morning, another moment, another chance, and in that quiet assumption we begin to take life for granted. But nothing would truly be cherished if it were meant to last forever… A life that never ended would lose its urgency. A flower that never withered would no longer be admired. Yet we live as though everything around us were permanent. Therein lies the paradox…
There are countless things we overlook between the lines of our days. Small moments, simple nothings, fragments of time that brush past us unnoticed. We see them, yet we rarely pause long enough to understand them. But sometimes, if we slow down for just a thought, the smallest hues and reflections reveal entire worlds…
“To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.”
~ William Blake
