Infinity is something we cannot understand, as we tend to shelve everything into neat categories: people, events, landscapes. But there is more than one way to look at things. The possibilities are endless.
Perception is a subjective experience, and our senses interpret reality in a unique ways. It's not the same from one person to the next. It's not the same from one day to the next. It's not the same, whether we're working or on a holiday. It's not the same depending on our mood, our frame of mind.
With awareness comes a new appreciation of the world around us. Every flower, every blade of grass, every insect, every little animal can be overlooked as mundane and unimportant, or admired like a masterpiece, a miracle. The world around us is full of mysteries and surprises. It is there for us to enjoy: awe-inspiring, ever-changing reality. The best things in life are free of charge: sunshine, rain, fresh air, and nature in all its magnificence and diversity.
We can experience infinite pleasure in becoming aware of the beauty around us. By cultivating a spirit of wonder and appreciation, we extend the boundaries of our world, and it becomes infinite. We don't need to travel to distant destinations to stimulate our senses and discover new landscapes.
Today, imagine that you're someone from another country, visiting your place for the first time. What would you see? What would you think? What would you feel? Enjoy this day as though it were your first one on this wonderful planet.
With love,
Bella
