Ponder this
Are you paying attention to your life? Do you stand by and observe things happening to you, or do you truly see your life, and play an active part in it? Do you remember what you did yesterday, last week, last month, this time last year?
Are you taking the time to notice the beauty in the world around you? To find pleasure in simple things? To reconnect with what used to make you happy?
Are you curious about the world? Do you give your mind enough time to ponder, investigate and discover? When was the last time you felt awe and wonder?
Try this
- Go for a walk and seek out simple beauty in nature
- Take your camera, pick a colour or shape, and go and seek it out
- Look at something you use every day and ask “How does that work?”
- Do something you do every day, differently. Do it in silence, back to front, alone, with someone else, naked, in fancy dress, loudly, laughing. How is the experience different?

When you take the time to look, listen and seek, what are you drawn to? What do you notice? What patterns do you see in what interests you?
