The Ordinary Can Be Extraordinary

Look with fresh eyes upon all that you see;

Do away with judgments and let your mind go free.

There are wonders around you that are miraculous and grand;

Don’t take for granted the beauty of the sky and land.

What may have been dismissed as ordinary on a whim;

Can be quite extraordinary as you capture the beauty within!

    When we reconnect with something that we have misplaced, we become excited and realize as Dan Milman puts it: “There are no Ordinary Moments” when we are alive in that Moment.

    You’ve captured those words in this pic, cause dandelions can so often be overlooked as being beautiful.

    Dandelions!! :) A source of instant delight when I was a child… Bringing giant smiles with each happy glow they offered! I STILL love them. And some call them weeds. Hrmph! “Look with fresh eyes…do away with judgements…” YES, I say! Beautiful poem, Evita, with beautiful sentiments,and as Davina says, the perfect image to illustrate it. Whatever can bring joy to my heart is not a “weed,” whether plant, animal, human, circumstance, or even thought in my heart. Not a weed, but only goodness.
