Not Rushing Beauty

When you look at a tree, you might simply just see a tree. Or, you might see a magnificent wonder of nature, uniquely stunning in every detail. But, what happens when you stare at that same tree for several hours? Wouldn't the experience of inspecting this tree increase by a tenfold?

But, most people won't do that, possibly because we live in a society that is so focused on entertainment and getting as much of it as we can as fast as we can. Thus, to many it would seem idiotic to stare at a tree for hours on end.

I know that the internet is filled with "stop and smell the roses" types of blog posts. Still, not many people really listen. Or, we only pay attention to things that could be considered conventional beauty, such as a flower, canyon, or sunset. Take for example, a door. No one looks twice at a door, assuming that it's only use is to separate different rooms. But, some handles are actually really cool. And although the designs aren't very often intricate, they are still very nice. Actually, I should probably stop staring at my door now. It's weird.

And what about buildings? Except for the owner, who appreciates the effort put into them? And grass as well. When was the last time you inspected a piece of grass?

I wish that I could go farther into this topic, but I still have tons of other posts to write.
