Details of the Magnificent.

…splashes of rainbow across the countertop; first signs of morning light.

…branches rustling in the wind; digressions of weather in a dance of limb and leaf.

…when she brushes her hair behind her ear after every smile; refined grace.

…quiet walks in the forest, ancient trees wrapping their arms around you, dirt, earth, and branch beneath your feet; ancient wisdom.

...birdsong in calm mornings, a melody of redemption; calling you home.

…warmth radiating up your arms into your heart; first cups of fresh tea.

…pounding heartbeats after a swift run in crisp morning air; living gratitude.

…butterflies. 🦋

…the exquisite delicacy of pain and sorrow, joy and beauty; artistry in emotional tapestry.

…meeting someone’s gaze from across the room, hints of a smile dancing across their face; subtle intimacy.

…a warm meal grown, prepared, and shared in simple loving recognition; daily prayer.

…the markings in marble, the patterns in wood, brushstrokes in jade; natural harmony in divine play.

…a million nameless faces walking past you in the street, all dealing with the realities of life, loss, love, joy, hope, desire, despair, mortality, existence, all with a life as exquisitely confusing and awe-inspiring as your own; sonder.

…dancing clouds flowing through summer breeze.

…explosions of citrus and smell cutting into a lemon. 

…the ever-present, totally-incomprehensible, immediately-perceivable, shockingly-simple, deeply-complicated, continuously-emerging Great Mystery of Everything.

An innumerable number of details, dancing upon the stage of perception, participating in the greatest masterpiece ever made.
