You are free to discover new depths, right here where you are.
You are free to engage in a practice of finding meaning in ordinary spaces, revealing depths that you have never realized before.
Look for small moments that remind you of how you can explore new ways of doing things, right here where you are. This could look like:
-Encountering someone rearranging or organizing something in a way that inspires you to try your own version.
-Hearing someone you know recall a story you’ve heard them tell before, but you think of a new question to ask them about it.
-Turning on a free calming nature music video on loop, transforming a noisy space into something slightly more calming.
-Giving energy to something important that often gets overlooked.
-Taking a photograph of something that isn’t typically or socially deemed as “photogenic” because it’s seen as too ordinary, but choosing to observe the beauty in it anyway.
What all of these examples have in common is their potential to transform the mundane into something meaningful. These moments may not feel like they take you into the furthest depths, but just as dipping your toes into the water still lets you feel the ocean’s embrace, these are small moments that provide meaning and value in ways you might not expect. No matter how many times you have traveled the same coasts of everyday experiences, there is still more beyond the shore. Stay open to the small details in daily life that remind you of the hidden depth that awaits in the simplest things. And as you begin to notice these small things more, you might just begin to discover even further depths you never noticed before. – Morgan Harper Nichols
