I find it fascinating how you can be looking at something seemingly straightforward one minute, and the next, the thoughts provoked transport you to a heightened sense of discovery. Take, for example how my son and I went to get haircuts the other day. As I waited my turn to pay at the register, I noticed a new line of nail polish by a company I like.
I picked up a bottle, its color having captivated me. Turning the bottle this way and that, I scrutinized how the color wasn’t quite one, but rather a mixture of several differing ones that somehow converged to create a whole new shade that took on varying appearances depending on the light it was in.
And that got me to thinking….
I love things that aren’t quite definable. Those things that, although they have captured your full attention and appreciation, you can’t seem to find the right words to express how they’ve affected you or how they appear.
Life’s like that—throwing breadcrumbs of uniqueness in our path. It’s up to us to decide to take the time to notice…or not. Me, I opt to appreciate and attempt to elucidate the things that seem to thwart identifying. And I have found that, in the process, I am more in tuned to recognizing additional unique things.
