Paying attention

(Feeling small.  Photo © 2009 by Robin)

Sometimes during the day, I consciously focus on some ordinary object and allow myself a momentary “paying-attention.”  This paying-attention gives meaning to my life.  I don’t know who it was, but someone said that careful attention paid to anything is a window into the universe.  Pausing to think this way, even for a brief moment, is very important.  It gives quality to my day.
