Beauty and Art

Sometimes we get so absorbed in our lives, that we forget to appreciate the beauty around us. Eat, sleep, work, repeat. And in the crazy rush of our humdrum lives we no longer look around, see how the seasons change, how life happens all over, and the beauty of people all around. 

And then a white squirrel runs across the road! 

I kid you not, an albino squirrel! In the street outside my house. It made me look around, see the fresh leaves of spring in the tree outside my window, the blossoms on the neighbour's tree, and the way the morning light falls on the mountain.

Its as if my eyes have been opened. My morning coffee is now a celebration of life, enjoying the gorgeous city I live in. I have my dinner on the balcony, remember to water my plants, and notice the paintings that have been hanging in my house for the whole year. 

Life seems to be in full colour again, and all because of a white squirrel!
