As we grow up, mercifully, we learn to "edit out" the familiar so that we are focused on coping with the unfamiliar. This seems a good survival strategy. Yet, I find that the familiar has an incredible beauty that can easily be forgotten as I fling myself day to day into the currents of the raging floodwaters of responsibilitiesworkobligationsdutiesbudgetsmoneyfooddrinkadmin. A strange progression seems to take place......notice everything....notice only new things (of all kinds)...notice only a few new things...notice enough only to get through the day. I want to notice life. Know this life.
