Picturesque Moments


Occasionally, mundane things begin to look surreal. It may happen during a significant and blissful time in your life, it may occur when you make an astounding discovery deep in the profundities of your soul. It may occur when absolutely nothing is in your mind at all; when no words come to thought, when the senses are free to explore the environment at hand. The colors of leaves appear more vivid, or maybe the textures of a brick building tend to protrude and pique the senses of the eye. It usually lasts a few seconds to a few minutes, which at the time all one wishes to do is devour as much beauty from the world as possible before the moment ends. It is far from facile to make happen on command. Just be grateful when you do encounter these moments and ever open for more to come.
