What happens when you slow down long enough to notice the little things?

I'm in an art class where we were encouraged to take close-up photos of man-made and natural patterns. I loved this assignment because it really forced me to slow down and see many things I would have otherwise just walked on by. I came across this tree with a perfect heart-shape on its trunk. It's a perfect reminder to me to stop, slow down, and enjoy space - as you'll never know what you may find.

I think you begin to live in the present.

You grow. When you don't slow down to notice them your wealth or possessions may grow, but you stay pretty much the same.

i do this all the time. i think if you are lucky you can survive on it - in the way that artists of all kinds do. for people like me, i think we enjoy less of the material things in life but feel spiritually fulfilled. that's how it is for me anyway.

When you begin to appreciate the little things, they cease to become little things. They simply ARE. What you previously considered big things may end up taking the little things' place.

I take a lot of photographs, and like your art class, it makes you stop a while and look at the little things...and wow, when you do its amazing. There is beauty in most things, but you have to look hard sometimes, but its worth it. Its like looking at a starry night, the longer you look the more you see!!

it's all about the details,the little things make our life beautiful it doesn't have to be big to impress you do know that big things collapse easier.strong essences come in small bottles.

You notice that the little things aren't so little after all, and conversely, that the big things don't seem so big any more.
